Toño Mauri tested positive for COVID again… And he chose ‘Despierta América’ to explain how he feels about this second contagion.
In the ‘Sin Rollo’ segment, Carlos Calderón interviewed Mauri, who from his home in Miami recounted how he received the news, the type of treatment he is undergoing, taking into account that he received a double lung transplant after his first COVID infection, and gave details of the panic that felt.
“At first I was very scared, I got scared, it scared me. Having COVID is remembering the whole stage of everything that happened in my life, and the news is strong, but thank God, I feel much better, ”he began by recounting and continued.
“Right now I am at home, they gave me the medicine last Tuesday, since I have to take the immunosuppressants, because of my transplant, I can’t take any medication, but this one has worked well for me,” he told Univision’s morning show.
Although he has been on medication for several days, Toño confirmed that he continues to test positive, but his doctors said that it is possible that in two days the test could give a negative result.
“You never expect it, I had my vaccinations, I was vaccinated, they had He had protections on, he had everything, but there he is, he’s still alive, it’s sad and painful, but we live with him, and we’re going to live with him for a long time, we have to take care of ourselves, don’t let our guard down, medicines have come out, but we have to take care of ourselves ” , ended by saying Mauri who assured that in the face of fear he has relied on God and his family.
Let us remember that more than two years ago, despite extreme care, Toño Mauri and part of his family tested positive for COVID-19. What seemed simple became complicated. For 5 months he was hospitalized fighting for his life… His wife and children could hardly have contact with him and only joined outside the hospital to pray.
His condition was so serious that his wife Carla, warned those closest to him that it was possible that he would not survive. But almost at the limit, Toño received the miracle of having a compatible donor on time, he underwent a double lung transplant, and a year later he is almost recovered, he gained some weight again and even started working.
But a new setback put him to the test, a double bacterium attacked his body, which was still in recovery. Thanks to all the care he continued to have, he was able to get ahead, and holding on to the hope of someday being able to meet the family of his young donor.
