Steve was visited today by his mum. Steve's mum has told us that he was awake and talking to her. When she walked into his room Steve smiled and his mum said it was lovely to see him smile so he smiled again and said that was for her. He told his mum he was glad she had come to see him. He asked his mum for custards tarts as he was hungry. The nursing staff informed Steve's mum that he was having more solid food and he had been eating meatballs for breakfast!! so tomorrow its custard tarts for lunch!!!!

Steve is lay more on his side now to try and make things more comfortable for him which appears to be working. The tube into his throat has been removed so he is breathing completely for himself now. Steve had his 12th visit to theatre yesterday. Whilst there he had a complete dressings change and his grafts were checked. All looks ok with the registrar telling us that the healing process was very encouraging.

The nursing Staff have placed a television in Steve's room to help stimulate his senses and give him some background noise. Steve told his mum that he had been watching the Olympics which he had enjoyed. This is all very encouraging for us a family and demonstrates Steve's continuing recovery.

Steve's mum left him with Steve telling her he needed custard tarts. So it was trip to a well known supermarket to purchase those all important tarts.
