We arrived at Centre Parcs near Reims in France at 4pm, after leaving home at 5am from Cambridge.
Unpacked the car, drove to park the car and collect out golf buggy. During the hand over of the buggy, our little lad fell down into the 8 inch gap between our buggy and the next parked one. We though nothing of it, but he cried and cried and cried for 45 mins. So I called the Centre Parcs medical team and a nice chap came to our villa and said we should go for an X-ray.
The French hospital was brilliant. 20 minute drive away, parked right outside A&E and were checked in and having X-rays within 10 minutes.
Broken tibia and fibia. My wife and I couldn’t believe it. Utterly devastated. Pooor little lad. His sister (3.5y) was in tears as she realised that he can’t go swimming at all now or do any of the activities we have booked. Can’t even go to the ‘beach’ for fear of getting sand into his cast. 😢
They say the cast will have to be on for a month….!? Is that right?
It was hard to fully comprehend everything we were told in French as my French is barely average.
Have any of you TZers had kids who’ve broken their bones? Will it impact the rest of his life? Or be good as new in 6 weeks?
