Araçatuba---The agronomist pt. Santos, 24, returned to Aracatuba, carried on a stretcher, yesterday morning accompanied by his mother, a biology teacher. The aircraft that brought the two with the medical team landed at the airport at 10:30 Dario Territory, where an ambulance was waiting to transfer the agronomist to the Hospital Unimed.
Pt. Santos, fell from the eighth floor of the hotel casino Circus Circus in Las Vegas, United States, while making a film on March 12 this year. He leaned against the window to capture his face with the city landscape as background when he lost his balance and fell. The footage would be a gift for family.
Path.
The transfer of Vicente's plane to the vehicle was quickly accompanied by the hall of the airport by friends and family who looked forward to reviewing the agronomist. He was taken to the hospital, where he continued treatment.
Pt. Santos, with his mother and father, also an agronomist, left Las Vegas at 16h (GMT) on Thursday. The journey of the United States to Brazil, with stops at some points, took 18 hours and 30 minutes. The father was in Sao Paulo. He was the first to travel to the U.S. to monitor the child's treatment. He arrived in the American hospital on March 17. A few days later, it was time for the mother to travel to the U.S.. By phone and computer, they informed the relatives about the state of health of the child.
Emotion.
After the entry of Vincent by ambulance, Marcia went to the lobby where he was received with applause and hugs from relatives and friends. The first word she said when all were reunited with him was "success."
She said the trip back to Aracatuba has been postponed five times. "But everything has a purpose. In this time of waiting, the brain child of my deflated, if possible that the doctors who cared for him since the beginning did the second surgery," he says. The family gave no further details about the state of health of Vicente, who soon after the accident remained a period in a coma. "We bring Vicente with the help of four angels in uniform," he said, in reference to the medical team that accompanied them on the path of the U.S. to Brazil.
Finally, she thanked everyone who prayed for the life of Vincent and the return.
