We found out today that the sprained ankle that has taken over a week to heal is, in fact, a fracture . Ds's leg is in a full plaster cast and he is likely to be off for 4-6 weeks.
I am worried, not so much about the academic side (though he is already a summer-born boy, so it is a slight concern), but more about the social side. He is pretty quiet and shy and just starting to 'come out of his shell' as the teacher puts it, though at recent parties we have been to his interaction with his peers has been minimal.
He does enjoy school and, in fact, the injury occurred at play-time during a 'spinning game', so I don't think he's completely friendless, but he can't really afford to be out of action for all this time, either. We are relatively new to the area so, while we will do as much as we can to get some friends round while he's off, it's not going to be a case of people coming round regularly.
I am just feeling a bit anxious about it and would like to hear from others who have had similar happen, or from teachers, that this is not going to affect him long-term.
