Rotherham Mum fundraiser for son Jordan

Jordan suffered a 1 in 20,000 condition

A Rotherham mother has set up a go fund me page for her son, who has been left paralysed.

Jordan Buxton-Anderson began suffering from backpain on Christmas day.

After two weeks in pain, and painkillers not helping, Jordan visited his GP, to be told it was muscular. When his condition worsened he visited hospital, before collapsing in the car park.

He was told it was a slipped disk, and he was free to leave, but he wasn't able to stand. Doctors eventually found the 24 year old had an abscess which required surgery.

During the procedure the abscess burst, and Doctors say he will never walk again.

His wife Emily, who he married three months ago, was 33 weeks pregnant at the time.

Now Jordans family are raising money to buy Jordan a special wheelchair so he can still be a dad to month old Elsie.
