Luchasaurus was recently hospitalized due to pneumonia in both of his lungs, and his blood oxygen levels dropped to below 80%. Doctors warned that he was “days away” from suffering permanent lung damage.
The Wrestling Observer Newsletter is reporting that Luchasaurus has been discharged from the hospital but still requires oxygen support at home, as even simple daily activities leave him breathless.
Luchasaurus is not permitted to engage in training and is considered at high risk for a relapse. He cannot travel for at least four to six weeks and needs to see a specialist as soon as possible.
There are concerns that Luchasaurus may have a weakened immune system due to various health issues, including sleep apnea.
The report states, “He is not back in the gym and he will not be back in the gym for a while and he’s not going to be back wrestling, probably, for a while. And it’s hopefully, he will be back wrestling in a while. Apparently, there were complications. He ends up getting this flu and bad oxygen uptake as a result of whatever else, turned into pneumonia. And apparently he’s at high risk for a relapse, is what I was told. The big concern is that after all of this, they’ve been running test after test, and apparently there may be permanent damage. They found calcification in a heart valve and his body is not producing iron and so he’s got a whole bunch of tests that he apparently has to take. It’s bad. It’s bad enough that he’s out of the hospital, apparently, but he still has to do oxygen.”
On behalf of all of us here eWn, we wish Luchasaurus a speedy recovery.
