my cousin's boy -4 yearsold -fell out of a 2 storey window on sunday. on to concrete. he is miraculously alive and not paralysed, though with a fracture in his neck - waiting to find out what this means. please pray.

but also , please be aware of window safety in your home. kids can be expected to do the unexpected.

Everyone is in shock. Its a miracle though - he got up and walked after and if his spine hadnt been straight but moved a little either way, he would have died or been paralysed - the dcotors are amazed that neither of these things hsppened. So there is another caution - after a fall like that DO NOT MOVE THEM! He is being very brave - its quite painful as you can imagine. He has to have a neck brace on for at least 2 months - and can't take it off for any reason. We are not sure what the long term effects will be at the moment.
