Saida's burns now confirmed as 1st and 2nd degree on 65% of her body. It is far more serious than we even feared.

Tomorrow's parade has been cancelled, along with all planned dances. The following days' events will be decided tomorrow.

Better news this morning. Saida has been evaluated and undergone an hour and a half's operation in the Hospital Virgen del Rocío de Sevilla and is in a critical but stable condition. Doctors at the hospital say that she is well hydrated and responsive, though her prognosis is reserved while she is observed over the next few days. Seville has calculated that the burns cover 40% of her body, as initially estimated at HUC, but although less than later estimates, these are unfortunately more severe, being third degree burns. None the less, this morning's news looks more positive than we could have hoped by the end of yesterday. JA

No, I'm sorry, I misunderstood your intention

The Ayuntamiento has announced that official carnaval events for tomorrow, Saturday, will take place as planned. The decision has been taken after consultation with, and the blessing of, Saida's family. JA
