Turin 2006 Olympic champion Roman Kostomarov is gradually recovering, however, as Sport-Express notes, his condition remains difficult.
According to the source of the publication, the athlete “is dissatisfied with being in the hospital, does not understand what is happening to him.” Also, according to “SE”, doctors are worried about the condition of the skater’s left hand, which has changed color. It is not excluded that this may signal a new development of sepsis.
At the same time, RIA Novosti notes, the athlete gradually begins to move, positive dynamics are noted in his condition. “Final conclusions can be made later,” the source said.
Huge support to the skater is provided by his wife. Oksana Domnina is constantly at the bedside of the patient, talking to him, reading books, and also delves into all the subtleties of the treatment.
Roman Kostomarov was hospitalized with advanced pneumonia on 10 January. He is currently in a hospital in Kommunarka. He was connected to ventilators and ECMO. The disease was difficult, Kostomarov had peripheral circulation disorders, and sepsis also developed. Saving the life of an athlete, the doctors were forced to perform a partial amputation on the arms and legs, removing the tissues that had undergone necrosis.
