Steve is stable but still classed as critical by the medical staff at Wythenshawe Burns Centre. He has had initial skin grafting to the rear of his thighs, and lower back. His temperature has dropped slightly and the team of Doctors looking after Steve are confident that his major organs are all working as they should at this time. Steve is still being supported by a ventilator for his breathing,and is at present still sedated. This sedation is to allow him to rest and to allow the nursing staff to manage his health needs more easily.

Last night (08/07) Steve had a comfortable night with no interventions required from the Burns centre Staff. Steve is being looked after on a 24 hours monitoring basis at present. He is not left alone at all and the all the Hospital staff are absolutely fantastic with their treatment of Steve and making sure we as a family are ok.
