“The operations to fix fractures on the right hip, right thigh and right forearm were completed successfully by 6 PM yesterday after a seven-hour long operation,” Dr Abdullah Cherakkat, Managing Director, Malabar Institute of Medical Sciences (MIMS) hospital, told mediapersons here today.
He said Sreekumar was responding well to treatment and ventilator support might be removed by tomorrow evening. Actor’s blood pressure has also normalized, doctors said. The car driver, who was also injured has been shifted to a room after his condition improved, he said. Sreekumar, who was on his way to Kodagu in Karnataka to shoot a Malayalam film ‘Idavappathy’ was seriously injured when his car slammed into a road median at nearby Tenhipalam last Saturday and overturned.
Sreekumar’s son-in-law Shaun said the family is grateful to the hospital and thousands of people who had prayed for the early recovery of the veteran actor, who has acted in over 1100 films. Association of Malayalam Movie Artists President Innocent and actor Vijayaraghavan were among those visited Sreekumar at the hospital yesterday.
