Thiago Medina’s Rehab Advances as Doctors Weigh Oral Antibiotics

Family updates describe a steady return to mobility and awareness following his September 12 motorcycle crash.

Overview

  • He remains out of intensive care in an intermediate/general ward at Hospital Mariano y Luciano de la Vega and is increasingly mobile, with light drainage persisting from a surgical wound.
  • Clinicians are evaluating a switch to antibiotics by mouth as IV lines and drains are progressively removed during recovery.
  • Kinesiotherapy has begun with goals that include lifting his arms, standing unaided and rebuilding strength after weeks in an induced coma.
  • He is conscious and communicative, has daily video calls with his twin daughters, and told visiting friend Nacho Castañares he wants to go home, even joking about not being allowed to bathe yet.
  • Ex‑partner Daniela Celis says Medina voiced a wish to rekindle their relationship, a conversation they plan to have after discharge, and she adds he is upbeat, reading, and talking about studying architecture.
