Sharon Steve's sister and I visited Steve this afternoon. When we got to the hospital Steve was sleeping. He must have know we were there because shortly after we arrived he woke up. Steve was much more talkative than the last few days and appeared to be stronger in himself.

His left arm is in a wrap around sling which holds his arm close to his body and makes it virtually impossible to move. Whilst we were there the left hand in the groin flap was checked by the nurse and it was found to be healthy and the blood supply to it was good. His right hand is bandaged but his arm is now uncovered revealing the extent of his injuries and the grafted areas. Both of his legs are still bandaged but these bandages are slowly being reduced.

We left Steve when his evening meal arrived. He is starting to once again eat more of his meals and has been told by his dietician to snack as much as he wants between meals. This is to build up his calorie intake which help build his strength up.

Steve has received many cards wishing him a speedy recovery. The latest was delivered today from White Watch Moss side. I read the card out to Steve and he thought it was great and wanted me to say thanks to the Whites at Moss and to everyone else who had gone out of their way to choose a card and send it to him.
