Vicente Fernández is “serious but stable” and in intensive care

“The current state of Don Vicente Fernández is, without a doubt, serious but stable, as is the sequence of the trauma caused by the fall itself that generated a spinal cord trauma at the level of the spine” the doctors said in a brief statement.

On Sunday, the interpreter had an accidental fall in his room at the ranch “Los tres potrillos” and was taken by emergency in an ambulance to a private hospital in his native Guadalajara.

The doctors reported that after the surgery Fernández has ventilatory assistance and is given “critical patient care” in the intensive care unit of the hospital.

On Monday morning, the singer’s son, Vicente Fernández junior, informed the media that in the incident his father had injured his cervical vertebrae and that he remained sedated at the end of the surgery.

The doctors are waiting for the results of the tomography and other clinical tests performed on the “Charro de Huentitán” to know its evolution and define the next steps.

This is the second time that the interpreter of “Divine Women” has health problems, since on July 7 he suffered from a strong urinary infection that kept him hospitalized for two days.

Fernández has overcome several diseases in recent years, including a prostate cancer in 2002, the removal of a tumor in the liver, in 2012; a thrombosis that made him lose his voice, in 2013 and a surgery to remove three abdominal hernias, in 2015.

Although in 2016 the singer announced his retirement from the stage, he has remained active on social networks, recording songs and making special presentations with his children and grandchildren, who have followed in his footsteps in Mexican popular music.
