Okay - so we thought Jack might like to try it outside in the snow tonight - he slipped, was caught from a full fall by daddy though wouldn't stop crying and wouldn't put his left foot down - so we took him up to A&E at Hull Royal Infirmary.

We thought we'd be there for hours but was seen, x-rayed and hald pot put on left leg within 2 hours - it's a miracle. The nurses were lovely and Jack was a little star - though a bit bewildered by his new legwear!! x

Glad Jack is ok and not too injured. xx

aw hope his leg feels better soon.xx

Thank you both. We've been back to HRI this morning and Jack now has a full plaster cast on his left leg. He has a 'greenstick' fracture and we're told it'll prob be healed in about 4 weeks.

Full marks again to the Dr and nurses at the Infirmary. When we saw the Dr I told him Jack was autistic and has hypotonia so was finding the situation a bit hard to understand and the Doc was brilliant and made sure he was seen in a matter of minutes. The nurses who did the cast were really great with him and were talking to him all the time to keep him calm - which he was. We're so proud of him! He was knackered when we got home and is now fast asleep on our bed. x

Awww bless him, what an experience in the snow! Hope it doesn't put him off!!! Glad the hospital were great too, not often we hear good things about them fingers crossed it heals quickly and he's back out there giving it another try....heaven forbid its still here in 4weeks hehe just in time for xmas!!
