Denis-Jack Ward has an action-packed summer holiday ahead of him after overcoming two years of gruelling rehab
A brave Scottish schoolboy has overcome two years of gruelling rehabilitation and five months in a wheelchair to learn to walk again after being struck by a car. Denis-Jack Ward now has an action-packed summer holiday ahead of him after he was involved in the accident which caused horrific injuries to his leg.
Denis-Jack was just four when the horror accident happened. Dionne, from Tranent, explained: “We were crossing the road to get a slushie. I leaned out to see if it was safe to cross and he ran out onto the road. By the time I went to grab him, a car had already hit him. "Denis-Jack collapsed on the ground, and I absolutely crumbled. When the ambulance arrived, they cut away his trousers and his leg swelled up to three times the size. We were rushed to hospital and there were 14 nurses and doctors standing around him. It was so frightening.”
Top news stories today Denis-Jack said: “My very best memory was when I stood and walked for the first time again. I had a big smile on my face and I was so happy. When I grow up, I want to be a superhero, but I know they don’t exist, so I’m going to have a superhero job instead!” “I’m just so thankful to everyone at the hospital – it was a really horrible time and if it wasn’t for them, I don’t know how I would have got through it. I can’t thank everyone enough that my little boy is still here.”
