A little lad's trip to out-of-hours medics has potentially saved his life - after a high temperature and bruising around his body turned out to be a horrifying illness.
Jaxon Crawford, now aged six, was taken to see doctors by mum Kelly Brunning when he was two. She was concerned as the young twin had a constant high temperature and medics then spotted a bruise on his tummy.
He had other bruises which Kelly, from Blacon in Cheshire, thought were due to him bumping himself as he had also just been diagnosed with an eye condition. But when the bruising didn't disappear, Jaxon was sent to the Countess of Chester Hospital for blood tests - and it was revealed he had acute lymphoid leukaemia, CheshireLive reports.
