Juan Matute Guimon Extubated, Breathing on His Own, and Sitting Up

A major step in the recovery process of Juan Matute Guimon has been taken. After being in an artificial coma for three weeks, the 22-year old has recovered enough to be extubated and to breathe on his own.

On 5 May Matute Guimon collapsed, suffering from a massive brain bleed. He was hospitalized and twice operated on for an arteriovenous malformation (AVM) in his left temporal lobe.

Matute was kept in an artificial coma for the brain pressure to decrease and as of 20 May the doctors began to lighten the sedation and gradually bring him back.
