Olympic figure skating champion Roman Kostomarov began to recover and his condition began to improve, but there are problems that need to be resolved.
Citing a source, Sport-Express reported that Kostomarov has not yet been removed from the lung stimulation apparatus, due to the fact that the processes in the body have not improved. Also of concern is the athlete’s hand, on which traces of the development of sepsis can be seen again. No surgery is currently planned. However, he has to undergo a new operation because he does not recover. It is still possible that Kostomarov had to amputate another part of his arm.
“Sepsis is not obvious but it will need to be removed, it is not clear how much”
– said the source of the publication.
In an interview with Sport24, Doctor of Medical Sciences Andrey Shestakov noted that no one can say how long the body will be able to sustain the improvement in dynamics, given that Kostomarov has been in the hospital for a long time and his body is in good shape. supported by assistive devices.
“The doctors know that Roman’s condition is serious, so they can’t let him switch to a weaker treatment system. They have to make sure it’s not life threatening, but how much such a medical regimen could affect Kostomarov will only be possible to tell after he recovers. Now that’s it, It is unknown to everyone, including Kostomarov’s doctors,” he said.
Sports doctor Alexander Aleshin could not answer the question of how many more surgeries the famous skater will have to undergo.
“The ‘stable condition’ reports gave hope that the spore organism was struggling. But unfortunately sepsis is progressing. In Aleshin’s words, “Moscow Region Today” I don’t think I can predict how many more surgeries Roman will have to undergo.
Immunologist Irina Yartseva said that it is not yet possible to talk about whether Kostomarov will return to normal life.
“How well the consciousness is preserved: memory, speech, it will not immediately become clear. However, when he starts living, breathing, eating, drinking and talking to himself without a device, it will become clear whether it will be possible to return to his normal life.

“At the moment there is a slight improvement in the condition of Roman Kostomarov. We hold our fists, pray and believe that the Roma will recover. I would like to say a few words about his wife Oksana Domnina and mother Roma. Today is Women’s Day and many difficulties have fallen on their shoulders. The way they hold themselves, their Roman I congratulated them personally, but I want to congratulate all the women on their faces and thank them for everything you do, ”Averbukh said in an interview with RIA Novosti.
He also talked about the tour to support Kostomarov.

We carefully pass on all the letters from the audience to Oksana Domnina. This is very important to Roma’s family and to himself. This will help the Roma pass the dreadful test,” Match TV reports Averbukh.
TASS also reports on the positive dynamics in the athlete’s health.
