After a night under constant observation, he was briefly woken up by doctors at the Santa Corona hospital in Pietra Ligure this morning. The Lotus Renault GP driver was able to speak with his family. He was also able to move his fingers, which is encouraging for his recovery.
Professor Mario Igor Rossello, director of the Regional Hand Surgery Center at San Paolo Hospital in Savona, did not notice any swelling or infection on his right forearm. This is another positive sign, although several more days will be needed to determine if the operation is a complete success.
To avoid any physical stress, Robert will be placed under mild medication allowing him to sleep for at least the next 24 hours. During this time, doctors will decide how they will treat his elbow and shoulder fractures. Robert may undergo another procedure for this, but not for a few days.
Lotus Renault GP wishes to thank the San Paolo Hospital in Savona and the Santa Corona Hospital in Pietra Ligure for their professionalism and dedication. Lotus Renault GP will provide an update on Robert’s health later in the evening.
