Steve has now been moved across to Chorley Hospital. This is to further Steve's recovery and the move allows him to be much nearer home which makes visiting by Pauline his Fiancee a lot more manageable. Steve was sorry to move from The Burns Centre at Wythenshawe Hospital. The Staff at the Burns Centre and Steve developed a special bond. They were instrumental in saving his life and putting him on his road to recovery. Steve will never forget what everyone did for him at the Burns centre and he cannot thank them enough. He has not completely left the Wythenshawe Hospital. He will have to return as an outpatient on a regular basis for further consultations and treatments for a good while to come.
Steve is now receiving excellent care at Chorley Hospital the Staff are really looking after Steve well. Whilst he is a patient there he will be receiving more physio to enhance his recovery.
Steve's sister Sharon and I visited Steve today (7/12). Steve was sat in his wheel chair reading his newspaper when we arrived. Steve has had more exercise by walking around where he is with the help of people. Whilst we were there today we took Steve out in his wheel chair for a look around the grounds of the Hospital and to give him some cold crisp Lancashire air. He enjoyed the trip out and thanked us for taking him.
Steve was in good spirits today and feeling well. His burns continue to heal and he is getting stronger in both body and mind. Steve is remaining positive and has said he is looking forward to the future when he is well enough to leave Hospital and be at home again with Pauline. We had a great visit with him and he thanked us for coming to see him and for everything we had done for him.
At the end of the visit we said our goodbyes and left Steve to have his evening meal. Later on tonight he is having a visit from Pauline.
