Good news out of Mexico City where injured Paraguayan striker Salvador Cabanas is being treated for a gun shot wound to the head.
Cabanas’ Condition Is Improving; Player Begins Moving Extremities
Via the Canadian Press:
Doctors trying to save the life of footballer Salvador Cabanas say the Paraguayan has begun to move his extremities - a sign that he has brain function after being shot in the head in a Mexico City bar.
Dr. Enrique Martinez told reporters late Thursday that Cabanas’ condition had slowly begun to improve and brain swelling had gone down.
Cabanas, who was shot just before dawn on Monday, plays for Mexican club America and is also a top scorer on the Paraguay national team, which will play in the World Cup in South Africa this year.
“He’s begun to move constantly,” Martinez said. “He’s moving his extremities, and these voluntary movements are very good because it has to do with brain function.”
“Salvador continues in a delicate stage, but his life signs are better and the brain swelling has begun to do [sic.] down.”
