When we visited Steve today we found him in an upbeat mood. He was watching the X Factor so the medication must be kicking in. He was talkative and wanted to know what was going on in the outside world. We told him about various things which were coming up such as the Charity night on the 7/11 and the rowing event at the Trafford Centre. We also talked about family things and how all of us were doing. Steve although he is where he is still wants to know Pauline and all of us are ok.

Steve injuries are still mending well. His arms are not bandaged at the moment and you can see that the skin grafts are healing well. His left hand is still bandaged and his right hand is bandaged but his fingers and thumb are exposed. Steve is doing well with his right hand and is working hard on keeping the fingers and thumb on this hand moving so aiding their recovery. Both his legs are still covered with dressings and bandages and we do not know when these will start to be removed. Steve continues to work hard on his physio and the Hospital Staff are as always taking great care of him.

Steve had 3 special visitors today. They were 3 of the guy's who had been on the incident with him when he got injured. They spent time with Steve and really did a great job at cheering him up and having some good banter with him. He really benefited from them coming along to see him. Steve's family arranged for them to see Steve and I would like to say thank you to them from the family.

We are now looking to slowly introduce more of Steve's family and friends to see him over the next few months until he is ready to leave Hospital. Steve will obviously tell us who he wants to visit and when he wants visitors so we'll take his lead on that.
