PARENTS of a boy with cerebral palsy have been getting advice from a family who have been through similar circumstances.
Jon and Amber Sims, from Wymering Lane, Wymering, are deciding on what options to take to help their three-year-old son Jack. He has cerebral palsy, which affects his ankles and prevents him from walking.
The NHS will not fund an operation until he?s older and the extent of his illness is known.
But Jon and Amber are considering other options and spoke to mum of Oakley Smith, who went to America to have the operation.
