Post BBC Radio Sheffield.

Summing up the first radio interview. It was an odd experience. So many things you think about afterwards that would have been better or more interesting to say, either about our experience at the hospital, the challenge or the Childrens Hospital in general... Our biggest error is not thanking the Occupational Therapists at the Burns Unit. Since he was medically stable this team has worked the hardest to ensure that he continues to improve by reviewing him regularly, giving advice as to scar management, providing us with tailored compression suits every few months and starting to help us help him understand whats happened and to provide him with strategies of how to cope with looking different. They have been simply brilliant. Many, many thanks! With their careful guidance we have recently been given the thumbs up to stop using the compression suits and the silicone dressings. This is after about 18 months of continual use.
