Brother says Rodrigo Mussi has strength in his lungs and breathing ‘alone’

Rodrigo Mussi, 36, has strength in his lungs and breathing “alone”, according to his brother. Diogo Mussi is the one who has been providing updates on the health status of the former BBB, who suffered a serious car accident in the early hours of March 31.

“Rod has strength in his lungs”, celebrated the lawyer. “That is, it is already breathing ‘alone’, and the respirator is only working as a support at this moment.”

He explained that his brother remains intubated and that his condition is considered stable. “The good news is that Rod is making the effort to breathe, and the respirator now works only as an aid to this oxygenation”, he said.

Diogo also said that doctors are evaluating what the next steps will be. “In the morning, the MRI was done and the neuro team will evaluate to know how to proceed”, he said. “It looks like he didn’t get marrow.”

“Rod remains stable, bending and stretching his legs and arms, as he wakes up”, he reported. “The boy is anxious, so his awakening must be slower. He will come back giant, trust me!”

On Thursday (7), Diogo said that a surgery on his brother’s right leg had been a success. The procedure had been done to remove the cage that supports it to place a rod.

Previously, he underwent another head surgery. “The head monitor was removed, which is excellent. The awakening has to be controlled, which the doctors are doing and very well”, said brother Diogo at the time.

Rodrigo was in the back seat of an app car that crashed into the back of a truck. Only Rodrigo was injured, suffering head trauma and other fractures throughout his body.

The Civil Police said on Monday (4) that it opened an investigation to investigate the accident, and the driver, who gave testimony this Tuesday, could answer for culpable bodily injury while driving a motor vehicle.
