James has suffered some severe injuries the main problems being Broken Vertebra in his back and Pelvis Injuries.

Great news

I went to see James last night He is in much better health than the first Doctor diagnosed, he has got 2 Broken Vertebra on the left inner side of his spine which the Doctor cannot operate on and a Broken Pelvis which has gone back into its original position. Both injuries can heal themselves over a period of time and he now has much improved movement at his legs, feet and toes. James even got out of bed and with a frame managed to walk up to 8/10 steps. It is still going to be a painful and long healing process.

I will still keep you all updated with all his progress through the Berkshire website and hopefully all the good news.
