Jordan was admitted back to RNOH this week to begin his rehab programme. He had the first fitting of his prosthetic leg yesterday and managed to tolerate the “socket” and stood on the leg. He even managed a couple of steps. The next few weeks are about getting him stronger, getting the fit of the leg right and getting him standing for longer periods of time. He is trying to get his school work done in between physio sessions and my mum and I have been helping with with an art project – looking around the grounds for things for him to draw and paint (still life). My mum has made some proper “eyes” for “Forrest” and this has made the nurses and physios laugh!
The staff at the Royal National Orthopaedic hospital have been fantastic – very helpful and supportive and I would like to thank them all – the doctors, nurses, physios, teachers, play specialists and everyone involved in Jordan’s care.
Pictures of “Forrest” to follow soon!

Hey Jordan, hows it going? You’re one amazing lad and very lucky to be the sort of guy who can deal with real pressure! That takes a lot of intelligence & strength of character!!!! I really admire you Jordan and I’d have you on my team ‘any time’ because you’re a ‘WINNER’, not a quitter!! When the going got tough you faced it, dealt with it and moved on!!!! When you get fully modile again who knows what you will achieve with your determination!!! All our love to you and family as always!!! Rob, Lynn & Joel
