An update on Sasha Blair-Goldensohn, the father of two who was struck by a rotting 100-pound tree branch in Central Park in July. According to Daily News sources, he was moved from a Manhattan Hospital to the Helen Hayes Hospital in West Haverstraw, NY earlier this month.
Blair-Goldensohn had been walking near West Drive and West 63th Street on July 29 when the pin oak tree's branch fell on his head. He went into cardiac arrest and also had "a gash in his skull, [damage to] his upper vertebrae and... a partial lung collapse."
The 33-year-old Google engineer was in critical condition when he was moved to Helen Hayes, but now the News' source says, "He's getting better, but he's going to be there for a long time."

Sad :(
Thanks for posting a followup to this story, Jen. I was wondering about this guy, and I'm glad to hear that, even though he's got a long road ahead of him, he's on the path to recovering. I wish all the best to him and his family.
good to hear - thanks for the update.
He is n perhaps the best rehab facility in the region.
thank you for the update.
I hope the Parks Department is footing the bill.
Good to hear he's mending but obviously that tree limb did some damage and I hope they get all of him back.
Thanks for the update. What a sad, bizarre story.
Thank you. Hoping for further recovery in the months to come. Best wishes to him and his family.
