Ryans broken leg!!!!!

Well......Happy Fathers day to John , the best Dad a kid could ask for-Ryans cup to John said "protector, Mentor, Hero....." well his Dad is all those things to him and more.
Its been an interesting couple of days-Ryan fell (well his legs collapsed under him) off his bed yesterday morning fracturing his right femur just above the knee.  So by 8 am yesterday morning we were at Dandenong Hospital Emergency Department, who were brilliant in their speed, efficiency and care.  We were seen by a doctor within 10 minutes, Xrayed within another 15 and then put into a bed within another 30 minutes.  Ryan was plastered from his thigh to toes and physios came to assess how we would get him in and out of wheelchair. After coming home we watched a couple of good movies and Ryan quietly went to bed with John at about 9pm - not much sleep had by either of them I might add.  This morning Brandon came in for cuddles with Mum in Ryans bed and kept checking if Dad was awake cos its Fathers day. Finally at 730 John arose from restless slumber and Brandon raced in with all his presents and Mum trailed with coffee for bleary eyed parents.  Dad was wrapped with his "Dr Who Time Lord" dressing gown, chamois, belt holder, mug, coke can holder and tape measure followed by breaky in bed. 
We then made another trek this morning to Dandenong ED as Ryan had broken his cast during the night and needed reassessment of his pain meds.....Nurofen plus just not cutting it, we were seen, replastered and given endone to help him get through the nights.
