WOLF BLITZER, CNN ANCHOR: We're getting more information now on the former POW Jessica Lynch and her homecoming. Patty Davis is joining me here on the set. Patty, what have you learned?</s>PATTY DAVIS, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, Wolf, CNN can now confirm that Private Jessica Lynch will be headed home to West Virginia next Tuesday from Walter Reed Army Medical Hospital here in Washington D.C. A family spokesman tells me that Jessica Lynch will hold a press conference when she arrives in West Virginia, but she will into the be taking any questions. Now, part of the reason for that is that she is still on the mend. She has, as you recall, three breaks in her left leg, multiple breaks in her right foot, a fractured disk, which has caused numerous problems, and she does not have feeling in certain parts of her body. In fact, I am told that she cannot stand. She does not have enough feeling in her feet at this point to stand, although she may attempt that. But she'll most likely be in a wheelchair, Wolf. We are told she faces a really lengthy rehabilitation at her home in West Virginia. And the family spokesman said it is his understanding she's now in the process of working through taking the initial steps of a military discharge.</s>BLITZER: Well, that's an important development as well. Patty Davis, we'll be following this story with you. Thanks very much. Good luck to Jessica Lynch and her family. She's, God knows, gone through a lot.
