Overview

• The hospital said on Sunday it began initial maneuvers to withdraw mechanical ventilation, noting he is conscious, responsive to his surroundings and under intensive respiratory kinesiology follow‑up.
• Family updates reported a slight improvement on Saturday, continued absence of fever, ongoing post‑surgical care and antibiotics, and brief signs of responsiveness during visits.
• Medina remains in intensive care for severe lung injuries stemming from the September 12 motorcycle crash after a splenectomy and later rib‑cage reconstruction to protect damaged lungs.
• Earlier in the week he had a respiratory decompensation that responded to targeted interventions, after which an interdisciplinary review optimized analgesia and adjusted antibiotic coverage.
• Clinicians are evaluating further procedures, including a potential tracheostomy, as relatives and supporters hold vigils and prayer chains outside the hospital.
