SAN FRANSICO, Calif- A San Francisco Giants fan from Santa Cruz who has been in the hospital for the last six months has been moved to a rehabilitation facility, said doctors.
Bryan Stow was severely injured on March 31 while at a Los Angeles Dodger's game.
"Bryan has been an extremely challenging patient," said Dr. Geoff Manley, SFGH Chief of Neurosurgery, who led Mr. Stow's care team. "It has been a roller coaster, but he is young and strong and has made tremendous advances."
The Stow family has requested that the name of the rehabilitation facility not be released today, to allow time for them and Bryan to settle in and begin working with the new care team.
"We feel immense relief today, knowing that Bryan is ready to start the next chapter of his story," the family said in a statement. "Though we won't miss the hospital, we will miss the people at San Francisco General. Everyone there has been so wonderful and kind to us, and we know that Dr. Manley and the team have given Bryan the best care possible."
