Unfortunately: l remain hospitalized at Hospital Rio Grande, in Natal, after feeling severe abdominal pain during my schedule in the interior of Rio Grande do Norte.

The cause was a complication in the small intestine, a consequence of the multiple surgeries I had to undergo after the attack I suffered in 2018.

Thank God, my condition is stable and I continue to recover, without fever and with good clinical progress. The latest information we have is that, for now, there is no need for further surgery.

– I would like to sincerely thank the doctors and nurses at the hospitals in Santa Cruz and Natal, who treated me quickly, with dedication and competence, as well as the efficient transport provided by the Military Police/RN.

– At first, I was promptly welcomed at the Aluízio Bezerra Municipal Hospital, in Santa Cruz, and then transferred to the Rio Grande Hospital, in Natal, where I remain hospitalized.

– I also thank all Brazilians for their prayers, messages and displays of affection.

– Moments like these remind us of the fragility of the flesh and the strength that comes from faith, family and those who remain by our side, even from a distance.
