Just shy of a week after informing fans that her husband was being hospitalized, Michelle Lewin has provided another update on his condition. She shared a video to her Instagram, with her speaking in Spanish about the troubles that they have been dealing with over the last few days. However she translated the description of the video into English, to explain that he was no longer in the ICU, and showing signs of improvement. That being said, there are still a lot of uncertainties about the future, and what caused this rapid decline in health. Moreover, it seems that he may need to get heart surgery to repair damages.

“Jimmy is surprising the doctors. Out of ICU

–

In just one week, the progress has been impressive. The strength of his body, his will to live, the medical attention and prayers of all, have helped him evolve rapidly, against all odds.

–

His initial diagnosis was: acute liver failure, acute kidney failure, heart failure with ascending aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection.

–

They are still investigating the causes that generated such a drastic picture, there are several, in addition to the antecedent of Covid 19 6 weeks ago. There is nothing concrete about it, so it is better to focus on your recovery.

–

The truth is that, even feeling bad, he was submerged in an avalanche of stress and work, without thinking that he could have some care, until life forces him to take a break.

–

But his strength has surprised everyone. Another could not tell. The liver and kidney are being regenerated in an impressive way. As soon as you are ready to go to cardiothoracic surgery, all the heart studies will be repeated to see if the injury has progressed or is stable.

–

The team is waiting for further progress in his health, to make the decision to repair the aneurysm and aortic dissection.

–

Thank you so much for your prayers

Jimmy está sorprendiendo a los médicos. – En apenas una semana, los avances han sido impresionantes. La fuerza de su cuerpo, sus ganas de vivir, las atenciones médicas y las oraciones de todos, han ayudado a que evolucione rápidamente, contra todo pronóstico – Su diagnóstico de entrada fue: falla hepática aguda, falla renal aguda, insuficiencia cardíaca con aneurisma de aorta ascendente y disección aórtica. – Aun investigan las causas que generaron ese cuadro tan drástico, son varias, además del antecedente de Covid 19 hace 6 semanas. No hay nada concreto al respecto, así que es mejor enfocarse en su recuperación – Lo cierto es que el aun sintiéndose mal, estaba sumergido en una avalancha de estrés y trabajo, sin pensar que podría tener algo de cuidado, hasta que la vida lo obliga a hacer una pausa – Pero su fuerza ha sorprendido a todos. Otro no podría contarlo. El hígado y el riñón se están regenerado de manera impresionante. Apenas esté en condiciones para ir a Cirugía cardiotorácica, le repetirán todos los estudios del corazón para ver si avanzó la lesión o se encuentra estable – El equipo está esperando un mayor avance en su estado de salud, para tomar la decisión de reparar el aneurisma y la disección aórtica. – Muchas gracias por sus oraciones 🙏🏻
