We think he has responded very well to our treatment. The good contraction of the left side of the heart is promising. Our intensive care process continues, and a long process awaits us. The patient's response to painful stimuli is very good. He can hear sounds and can react to those sounds. These are extremely positive for us, but we cannot concretely determine the patient's condition. Infection is the thing we fear the most. We are providing protective treatments. We are administering strong antibiotics. Urination is continuing well. In summary, our intensive care process continues, and we need time. We need time. My prediction for the patient is between 10 to 40 days. The risk to life continues. Our risk is high for this patient.
