Lorenzo remains in intensive care. Excluding neurological damage, breathe alone. With him the parents and the team
Hope and meanwhile silence. Lorenzo Bonicelli, the 23 -year -old gymnast of the Italian national team that has fallen badly up to the rings in the artistic test at the Summer Universiade of Essen, Germany, remains in intensive care, but is not in danger of life. With the blue, operated on Wednesday at the cervical vertebrae, there are parents, president and coach of his company – Gal’s Gal Gal of Lecco – in addition to teammates, who did not want to leave for Italy. They do not filter many other details from the German Polyclinic, as it is understandable pending the first magnetic resonance imaging necessary to verify the effectiveness of the intervention, even if the general console in Cologne, Luis Cavalieri, made it known that Lorenzo yesterday “opened their eyes because the doctors temporarily removed the induced coma, to see if there were irreparable neurological damage, which seem to be there. Edema extended – he added – that has formed on the marrow and must reabsorb “. The hope remains clinging to the testimonies of those present in the sports facility at the time of the accident, namely that Bonicelli has never lost consciousness after the fall, so much so that the doctors were able to explain the intervention before sedating him. Others claim to have seen him move their arms despite the harness with which he was immobilized for transport to the hospital. It is necessary to trust.
The intervention
–
Lorenzo is in excellent hands, it has been understood from the moment of the accident, when the blue was rescued and then operated with the utmost timeliness. Neurosurgeons have stabilized the spine with the application of plates and screws to the fifth fractured cervical vertebra: throughout the intervention it did not go beyond two hours. A second intervention may also be necessary, this time rear to definitively stabilize the area. Meanwhile, the course continues and Bonicelli, who had already been exturbated on Wednesday night, breathes alone. As soon as possible, the blue will return to Italy and will be taken over by a rehabilitative structure, probably from the parts of the house in Lecco.
Dynamics
–
“Lorenzo is in a moment of absolute apprehension” said the father, who should return to Italy tomorrow. The mother remains next to the boy. The hope is that it can quickly forget the fall on Wednesday in the phase of exiting the exercise to the rings. That triple grouped tested hundreds of times that starts from a height greater than three meters and that probably for a problem of taking on the knees has broken down to the second rotation and a half, ending up falling on the carpet. It is not the first injury of his career, at the beginning of 2019 he had fractured the femur, but with great determination he returned to the platform.
Affection
–
“If there is a wrestler, this is our Lorenzino – the coach Alberto Busnari virtually embraces him -. Exciting the embrace posted in a story from the irididation of the free body Nicola Bartolini. Meanwhile, federal president Andrea Facci has decided to go to Essen, also in order not to miss the boy and his family anything. The president of the medical commission Andrea Ferretti could follow him, after the emergency was initially managed by Dr. Filippo Ferrari (Federcusi). “Lorenzo is a person who infects you for his desire to live – the president of Ghislanzoni Gal Paolo Gilardoni describes him -. We can’t wait to embrace him again”.
