"My youngest son Francis had split his entire head open. He had been chasing his big brother Ted Louie at home, and fallen into our glass staircase.

"His forehead was in two parts. He was in hospital both Thursday and Friday. He had to have to put his forehead back together. He was put under anaesthetic.

"It is the first time I have experienced something like this happening with one of my children. It was incredibly unpleasant, and not something I want to experience again.

"The operation went well, and Francis is back on track. He is a Viking, and back to normal. Everyone was so worried, but he continues his life as if nothing has happened.

"The doctors say he will have a big scar on his forehead. But never mind - I'm just happy that it went so well."
