The parents of a 25-year-old year old have gotten their wish after four long years of waiting.
Codi Jackson, who has the mind and body of a 4-year-old, was moved back to Arkansas Children's Hospital on Wednesday.
Policy at Arkansas Children's Hospital requires patients who turn 21 to be moved into an adult facility, which forced Jackson's parents to take him to UAMS, where they say he couldn't get the necessary medical attention because the equipment was too big for his body.
Arkansas Children's Hospital has since made an exception for Codi, allowing him to return.
