A four-year-old Wiltshire boy has made a miraculous recovery after suffering horrific burns when his pyjamas caught fire at home.

Logan Adams suffered 33 per cent burns across his body and endured nine hours of emergency surgery and skin grafts at Bristol's Frenchay Hospital.

Logan's pyjamas were engulfed in flames after he and his six-year-old sister climbed up to reach a cupboard and accidentally turned the cooker on in May last year.

He was airlifted to Frenchay's specialist paediatric burns and plastic surgery unit which has expertise in complex burns cases.

Logan, from Haydon Wick, Swindon, spent the next five weeks in hospital, where a team of nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists and play assistants helped him to recover.

He spent a further three weeks at Frenchay after having more surgery to the skin grafts on his chest which had begun to tighten and restrict the movement of his neck.

Logan's mother, Denise Rendell, 29, said: "We didn't know anything about burns or skin grafts but the surgeons told us everything that could happen so we were prepared, which was a real help.

"Logan was in theatre every day and had four operations in total.

"He spent so much time in bed unable to move that he had to learn how to walk again and is still having physiotherapy."

Logan started school in September last year, just a few weeks after leaving hospital, and staff from Frenchay's paediatric burns outreach team visited his school to ensure his after-care could continue.

Ms Rendell said: "We stayed in the parents' accommodation for two months, because it was important for me to be here for Logan."

Logan's mother spoke out after Frenchay Hospital was designated a specialist paediatric burns centre - one of four in England and Wales.

As part of the South West UK Burn Care Network, the centre will treat children who have suffered severe burns and live in the areas covered by the South West.

Amber Young, clinical lead for Specialised Paediatrics at Frenchay, said: "Centralising this service means that specialists dealing with these rare cases can maintain expertise and provide high-quality, experienced-based care with a dedicated team purely for children with burn injuries.

"The development of an outreach service enables care of the same high standard to be delivered in hospitals closer to home as soon as possible.

"Our team of specialists are child- and family-focused for every element of care through immediate assessment and surgery to scar therapy, schooling and psychology.

"Bristol is now one of four paediatric burns centres for England and Wales, which is a major advance in paediatric burn care in our area and will help us to develop the service even more."
