“We are still in the ICU, with a lot of energy and (as you told me daddy when I was little) progressing adequately,” the journalist writes through her Instagram Stories. “You’re doing great!” The crucial 48 hours have passed since her extubation after sedation, and Irene Villa’s father has turned out as expected.
Great news for the journalist’s family, friends and followers, who are waiting for any new developments in Luis Alfonso’s health, after having passed those agonizing first moments of maximum concern.
“They did not want to give us false hope, this episode is hard: acute biliary pancreatitis, respiratory problems. With everything you have been overcoming, it is quite serious and the statistics are alarming, but as your grandson Carlos says: “Statistics don’t suit us, what is the probability of surviving a bomb? You did it and Grandpa will survive too.” They are clear about it. They trust. One more time. A new miracle. The miracle of Christmas,” the journalist wrote a few days ago in an emotional publication dedicated to her father that she shared on Instagram.
The specialists already confirmed to the family that Luis Alfonso’s condition was “very serious,” but seeing his father and his “peaceful face” was giving him “a lot of hope.”
