Yesterday, Fer and “El Pampa” commented how hard is the training and acclimatization process in the Base Camp, and that the training takes place 40 days before ascending to the top of the world.
Some hours ago,
the Argentinian actor Facundo Arana –part of the expedition team-
has decided to pull out due to medical recommendation as he has shown
symptoms of pulmonary edema for the second time.
“The pulmonary
edema showed again and it is getting worse, and the cerebral edema
has strengthened its position.”
Two emergency
evacuation flights were ordered by doctors from Pheriche and then
Lukla.
“I will tell all
details of the odyssey that brought me here, it really was an
odyssey! For the moment, the ascent has come to its end for me
according to medical recommendation. After two attempts and knowing
what happens to skeptics, I realized it is time to stop”, the
Argentinian actor wrote in his blog.
Days before, Arana
have had similar problems and he commented: “I am fine. I am
resting. The mixture of flu together with the symptoms of the edema
make me feel I have little lung capacity. The lung are too tired so
it is better to recover. If it is possible, we will go up again!”,
the actor pointed out last Saturday. Unfortunately, the situation got
worse since, when they tried to ascend, the problems appeared again.
Go Facu, get
better soon!
