Le centre hospitalier universitaire de Saskatoon où est actuellement hospitalisé Tim Bozon a communiqué, pour la première fois, sur l'état de santé du Français.
Un communiqué plutôt rassurant puisqu'il est dit dans celui-ci que l'espoir du Canadien a franchi une étape positive cette semaine même si son état demeure critique. En effet, il a répondu aux tests auditifs. Toujours dans le coma, les médecins tentent cependant de le réveiller doucement.
Ses parents ont d'ailleurs fait savoir qu'ils étaient très touchés par toutes les marques de sympathie à l'endroit de leur fils et qu'ils appréciaient également l'intérêt manifesté par les différents médias. Cependant, ils ne souhaitent toujours pas communiquer pour l'heure et le feront en temps voulu, sûrement par le truchement de l'hôpital.
Communiqué complet de l'hôpital (en anglais)
Saskatoon – Saskatoon Health Region provides the following update on the condition of Kootenay Ice hockey player and Montreal Canadiens prospect Tim Bozon at the request of his family.
Tim Bozon remains in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon after being admitted on March 1 with Neisseria Meningitis. He remains in ICU however doctors have indicated his condition remains critical but stable and improving. He has been in an induced coma since being admitted to the ICU but doctors are now working to slowly wake him. His family has indicated that Tim has responded to verbal stimuli.
Tim’s parents, Philippe and Helene, have been overwhelmed by the e-mail and social media messages from people around the world showing support for their son. The family is very appreciative and will respond sometime in the near future. The family also wants to express thanks to the doctors and staff at Royal University Hospital for the care Tim has received.
There have been many enquiries from individuals and organizations wanting to make donations to assist the family during this difficult time. The Western Hockey League (WHL) has established a trust fund to assist the Bozon family with medical and rehabilitation costs as insurance coverage is limited. Details regarding the “Tim Bozon Trust” will be released by the WHL later this week.
The family appreciates the media’s interest in Tim and in helping to educate the community about meningitis. They do not wish to provide any interviews at this time and will coordinate updates to media, when appropriate, through Saskatoon Health Region communications.
