Toddler Who Fell From Window Enters Children's Hospital, Begins Recovery

Physical, occupational therapy becomes part of daily activity.

Jack Gumersell, the 2-year-old boy who fell from a second floor window in his Long Valley home, left Morristown Memorial Hospital's pediatric intensive care unit on Thursday and is now at a children's hospital for physical and occupational therapy, according to the Gumersell family.

On his first day, Jack was able to sit up with a spotter, stand and kick a ball. It is unknown how long he will be in the children's hospital facility.
