The latest health update of legendary singer SP Balasubrahmanyam is a bit of a mixed bag. While he has tested negative for COVID-19, his lung condition is yet to improve, keeping him plugged to a ventilator. The news comes straight from the horse's mouth, through a video released by the singer's son, SP Charan, where he says, “We were hoping for good news over the weekend, in terms of improvement in dad's lung function to remove the ventilator, but unfortunately, we are still not at that point where we can remove the machine. The good news is that he is now Covid negative.”
“I had previously said that it now doesn't matter if he is positive or negative, as we are hoping for his lungs to heal fast. They are healing, but they are taking time. Other than that, over the weekend we had a small celebration for mom and dad for their wedding anniversary. Dad is watching a lot of tennis and cricket on his iPad; he is happy that the seasons have started and is looking forward to the IPL. He is writing and communicating a lot and is not under sedation. He is very clear and bright and physiotherapy is going on. Let’s keep the prayers going,” added SP Charan son in his video. Check it out below:
Before testing negative for coronavirus, MGM Healthcare in Chennai, where the singer has been admitted, issued an official statement that read: “SP Balasubrahmanyam who had been admitted at MGM Healthcare due to COVID-19 continues to be on ventilator and ECMO support in Intensive Care Unit (ICU). His current clinical condition is stable and he continues to be closely monitored by our multidisciplinary clinical team.”
Our hopes and prayers are with SP Balasubrahmanyam and his friends and family.
