Thanks Trillian, I think that's why the Dr wrote that diagnosis as I know if there were any severe complications it could result in an amputation. In the first week of coming home some of the wounds looked infected and the doctor sent him straight back in but luckily there was no infection. He really did go through hell, when he came to after the accident he tried to stand up but obviously couldn't so started waving down traffic but no one saw him, it was around 3.00 a.m. He then dragged himself along the ground on his butt to someone's house. As soon as the man opened the door he passed out again. He's a very, very lucky boy.
