We saw Steve this afternoon. He still has his own room but is no longer on individual monitoring by the nursing staff. Today Steve has had two sessions of physio using the specialist equipment within the burns centre. The session involves Steve's joints and muscle groups being put through their paces by the physio staff who push and motivate Steve to complete various exercises.
Another mile stone reached today by Steve is he had his first taste of proper food for several weeks. He was fed a small portion of mashed potatoes and a drink of Vimto. That again shows is recovery is continuing and his commitment to his own recovery because I know he does not like mashed potatoes and would not usually go near them!

We left him as he was drifting into sleep. He was tired from the physical activity he had been through with the physio.

Steve now is off any assisted breathing equipment. He is being administered a mild antibiotic to combat infections. In the near future he will be placed on medication to assist further with his recovery. This medication will help him to relax and ease any tension he may be feeling.
Tomorrow he will be having his dressings changed and his skin grafts checked.
