Prep Hockey Player Recovering



ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - The mother of a Minnesota girl's hockey player paralyzed in an on-ice accident says doctors expect a full recovery.
    
Jenna Privette remains paralyzed from the waist down following last month's hockey game accident. But her mother, Penny, tells the St. Paul Pioneer Press in a phone message that doctors "are anticipating a full recovery."
    
Privette is a senior at St. Croix Lutheran High School. She was injured in a game Jan. 7 and is receiving physical therapy and rehabilitative care at Gillette Children's Hospital in St. Paul.
    
Penny Privette says her daughter faces a long road, but has done it before.
    
In 2008, Jenna Privette suffered a hockey-related injury that left her paralyzed. Penny Privette says her daughter regained use of her upper body and limbs in stages.
