    At this stage arlo is still in the high dependency unit, he has had another mri the other day to try and look for further damages which showed stress fractures in his neck and back along with the fracture in his leg, face and skull. The doctors say he is coming along really well and should be out of the high dependency unit later this week. He has had part of the cast on his leg removed yesterday to better examine the puncture wounds on his foot/leg. He still has a few surgerys is store for him with doctors needing to remove stitches around his eyes and another few procedure so he will still be in hospital for a while yet. He's in high spirits and is getting out of bed for rides around the hospital in his chair assisted by his parents, brothers and sisters. It's still a long road to go in recovery but every day seems to be a step in the right direction. We appreciate all the help and messages while we get through these hard times
