Shaz, Hayley and I went and visited Steve this evening (22/10). We took him a book holder and a number of magazines so Steve can start reading which will give him a chance to get the old grey matter working and provide him with a welcome distraction from watching the TV.

Steve was very pleased to see us and told us he was really glad that we had come to see him. His bed had been converted back into a chair and he was sat up. We noticed that his right leg just above and below the knee had no bandages on it. We saw the burn scars and the extent of the injuries he has in this area. Everything appears to be healing well but it was still a little shocking to see these injuries. His left leg is still fully bandaged and Steve told us the injuries are still not healed enough yet to be uncovered.

What we noticed tonight was Steve was in a good mood and really talkative. One reason for this we think is that he had a dressings change today whilst under the shower. Steve told us the nurses did really well and didn't hurt him when they were stripping off the covering on his burns. Usually following dressings changes he is tired and not very talkative but tonight he was different.

Overall tonight was a good visit. You could say it was one of Steve's up days. The sort of day when we see something of the Steve Morris we know. We left Steve tonight with lots of smiles between us all including him. A good visit indeed.
