Steve had restless night last night. His temperature is still raised and the medical team are doing their best to reduce Steve's temperature. The nursing staff have informed us that due to his injuries his temperature will remain somewhat higher than usual so it is not a major issue at this time.

When we went into see Steve today at 14:00 he was sat in a more upright position than we have seen him since he was admitted to hospital. He did look very tired and was in a somewhat agitated state. This we have been informed is all part of the healing process for a burns patient. The medication which Steve has been on is causing a certain amount of withdrawal symptoms now the medication is slowly being reduced.

Whilst in the room Steve did reach out his hand (Steve still has extensive dressing over his body including his hands) to his Mum who placed it in her hand. He was looking directly at his Mum and we know that he was reassured that she was there. That for his Mum and the family was another defining moment in Steve's progress.

We are now waiting to hear when Steve will be returning to theatre for more surgery.
