President Arroyo on Monday
announced that her husband, Atty. Jose Miguel “Mike” Arroyo,
could leave St. Luke’s within the week and continue his recovery
at home.
The President said she and her
family were all hopeful that Arroyo’s doctors would agree to
discharge him soon.
Mike Arroyo had open heart
surgery and developed kidney complications but is now completely out
of danger and on the way to a full recovery, his doctors said.
In an interview, Mrs. Arroyo
narrated that she and her husband had a much longer conversation
Monday at the hospital.
She said they talked for 15
minutes. She added that he has been talking freely and normally
after his doctors removed the respirator on Saturday.
Unfortunately, she added, he was
deprived of the joy of watching Manny Pacquiao’s win against his
Mexican opponent Jorge Solis.
The President said Mr. Arroyo was
not allowed to watch the fight because as the doctors thought it
might have been too much excitement for his mending heart.
