The condition of the 14-year-old from Kefalonia remains critical as she continues to be hospitalized on a ventilator with full mechanical support in the Pediatric ICU of the University Hospital of Rio. The medical and nursing staff are monitoring her health progress with increased attention, while no improvement has been recorded so far.
The cause that triggered the initial paralysis of the limbs and subsequently the respiratory muscles has not yet been clarified. The first brain MRI that the 14-year-old underwent showed no findings that could explain her condition. Therefore, according to the same sources, a second MRI was deemed necessary, which has been scheduled for Thursday.
Thursday critical day for 14-year-old’s health progress
Thursday, August 7 is characterized as a critical day for the minor’s health progress, as the results of the new imaging are expected to provide a clearer picture of the cause of the rapid deterioration of her condition and determine the next medical actions.
It should be noted that there was a major mobilization for the transportation and intubation of the 14-year-old, with first aid initially provided at the Karamandaneio Pediatric Hospital of Patras, before being transferred to the ICU of the University Hospital.
