A schoolboy who had to learn to walk again after breaking his back in a sledging accident plans to climb the Eiffel Tower seven months on to raise money for the team who supported his recovery.
"The last thing I remember is feeling fear and I remember my friend pulling me up on to the sledge, but he couldn't manage to pull me all the way up.Filip's dad Petar rushed from the family home in Milltimber to the golf club, to find his son lying on the ground and unable to move.
The injured teenager was taken by ambulance to the RACH, where he underwent an urgent operation led by consultant neurosurgeon James Walkden, to realign his spine and fix the bones in place. Mr Cegar said:"I had spent many hours watching Filip and his friends sledge but that day the boys went on their own for the first time."We didn't know what was happening but we could see he couldn't move his legs or arms and he was screaming in pain. The first estimates were not good.""Before the operation, Mr Walkden said he didn't want to raise any hopes, but luckily he didn't break his spinal cord.
"I can't tell you the feeling - I had to sit down. Immediately after the surgery Filip started to have some control and some movement, not even 24 hours on. "I can't praise the professionalism of all the staff enough. The Archie Foundation gave us a room and we were shown so much patience and goodwill. We could not have asked for more."
