I write this for all of Roberto's friends who are so concerned and have asked me what happened. 
It's a long story and in an effort to save my voice,  I thought I'd write up a summary to share with everyone.  
What happened in layman's (Maddie's) terms:
Jan 10th: Roberto was not feeling well and went in to the Seguro Hospital (universal medical care in Mexico).  He was tested for covid - positive (yes, he was vaccinated) and sent home with paracetamol for fever and pain and told should feel better in a few days.  His fever continued over the next 5 days. 

Jan 15th: Roberto went back to the hospital.  Doctors told him he must have the new variant and it may take longer to get over.  He was again sent home and advised to come back on the Jan 17th if he isn't better. 

Jan 17th: Roberto went back to the hospital and advised the doctor that his fever continued and temperature was higher, in addition he was feeling pain in his abdomen.  The doctor gave him some hyoscine pills and told him to give it a few days and he should feel better. 

Later that evening, Roberto went to another hospital where they continued treating him for "covid".  He was prescribed dexamethasone injections, ibuprofen, acetylcysteine, loratadine, pulmicort, vitamin C, electrolytes, and 30 minutes of sun daily and told to come back if he didn't feel better in a few days. 

Jan 19th: This morning, Roberto's abdomen was severely inflamed and felt a bit more pain in the area.  Roberto then went to see a private doctor.  The doctor said he showed symptoms of cholangitis and dehydration and said he needed to be admitted into a hospital immediately for further lab work. 

Jan 19th - 8pm: Roberto was admitted to AMC hospital and lab work was ordered. 
Roberto was diagnosed with life-threatening  sepsis, resulting from his appendix rupturing 12 - 24 hours before he was admitted.  Emergency surgery was needed.  Roberto's family was advised that Roberto's condition was extremely grave and chances of coming out of surgery were slim.  Roberto went into surgery at approx. 2:30am the following morning.  Miraculously, he came through the surgery. 

Jan 20th: Roberto's surgery was successful.   Incision left open and drainage tubes left in place to continue draining infection from his abdomen.  He was in intensive care, lab work schedule throughout the day and vitals monitored continuously.  Constant adjustments to medication dosage as required to keep vitals normal.  


Jan 20th - Jan 24th:  Roberto's condition improved daily.

Jan 25th:  Roberto's improvement plateaued.  He was given a blood transfusion.

Jan 26th:  Not much improvement after the blood transfusion.  Roberto's abdomen was still inflamed and lab results indicated infection was accumulating somewhere.  A more detailed scan was scheduled, results showed he had two large abscesses filled with infection in his liver.  One abscess was more of a concern than the other, due to it's location in an area where numerous blood vessels are nearby.  Blood was requested from the blood bank so it would be on hand if needed.  Surgery was scheduled for 9:30 pm and expected to take 2-3 hours.  Roberto was in surgery for 5 hours, lost a lot of blood that was replaced with the blood on hand, but again came through like a warrior.  

Jan 27th:  Roberto was recovering  in intensive care.  He was in a great spirits considering he had numerous wires stuck to him, four drainage tubes attached to his abdomen, iv lines, blood transfusion lines, etc. etc.  

Jan 28th - Feb 1st:  Daily improvements.  After a few days, Roberto was moved out of intensive care and spent a few days in a regular room.  His diet went from clear liquid to solid food.  He was exercising more each day and felt much, much better.

Feb 2nd: Roberto was released from AMC Hospital, but will continue with follow up doctor visits, lab work and scans scheduled for the next four weeks.
