EXPRESS NEWS SERVICE @Kochi

UMA THOMAS, the Congress MLA representing Thrikkakara, will remain on ventilator support for a few more days after the latest CT scan revealed serious lung injuries and a resulting infection.

"Her overall health condition remains the same, including the brain injury and the internal bleeding. Her condition has not worsened, which is a good sign. However, our challenge is now aspiration-induced lung injury, which requires her to remain in ventilator for a few more days. Meanwhile, we have started antibiotics to treat the lung infection," said Dr Krishnanunni Polakulath, medical director of Renai Medicity, where she's undergoing treatment.
