Diego Maradona's health worries everyone since last Monday's hospitalization that led to surgery for a subdural hematoma in the head and now continues with a detoxification after presenting a "withdrawal process" as a result of not ingesting alcohol or drugs .
That is why his stay at the Olivos Clinic will be extended until Monday.
"The idea is for him to stay until the end of this process, which varies according to the patient. One estimates that it will be until Monday for sure," Luque told reporters when giving the evening medical report.
On the other hand, he was hopeful that the family union that caused this health trance will serve as support for the postoperative period and for the treatment that his patient will have to take from now to avoid new disorders.
"Today we notice a good alignment of Diego's family member. We all pull to the same side", emphasized the neurosurgeon. And he specified: "The abstinence is due to the consumption of his whole life."
Luque also spoke about the talk he had this Thursday with Alfredo Cahe, who was Maradona's doctor for 30 years.
“Nothing was consulted with Dr. Cahe.
He came and obviously among colleagues you have to have cordiality.
He called me, "he said.
This afternoon it was confirmed that Luque would add psychologist Carlos Díaz and psychiatrist Agustina Cosachov to the interdisciplinary team that permanently cares for Maradona.
Both had already said this Friday that the former footballer "is stabilized" and had anticipated that he was going to stay a few more days "in the health center.
"They are giving him the most appropriate medications for this moment, he is sedated and everything that has to do with sleep and diet has been stabilized, which are the two important parameters for his recovery," they said.
Asked about the confusion that according to Luque had affected the world soccer idol days ago, before his hospitalization, Cosachov said that "he receives the necessary treatments for his condition, this is day by day, he is well and his family is at so much of everything. "
“We are working together with Dr. Leopoldo Luque and with the medical and therapist team of the Olivos Clinic to take care of Diego Maradona's health.
In the postoperative context, withdrawal symptoms and other parameters that we have to do with rest, appetite and mood appeared, ”said Cosachov.
And he added: “There are certain adjustments that we have to see and it seemed appropriate that he stay a few more days for that.
The length of stay is day by day, we have to see the evolution of the patient but he is getting better and better ”.
