Heinz Hoenig is the subject at hand. - Optimistic remarks follow esophageal procedure.
Heinz Hoenig (72) is presently recuperating in a Berlin hospital's intensive care unit after undergoing an esophagus operation. His wife, Annika Kärsten-Hoenig (39), recently offered an update on his health to the "Bild" newspaper. "Heinz is managing well under the circumstances. His smooth sailing through the surgery can be attributed to the exceptional medical staff," expressed Kärsten-Hoenig.
Kärsten-Hoenig elaborated that Hoenig had endured an esophagectomy, which involves the surgical removal of his esophagus. As a result, he's now reliant on a feeding tube. "It'll be determined in the next couple of months if it'll be feasible to 'raise up' the stomach and create a food passage," she stated. The esteemed actor "Das Boot" will soon undergo aorta surgery.
Hoenig Regains Speaking Capacity
Kärsten-Hoenig confirmed that her husband, Heinz Hoenig, is currently undergoing speech therapy to regain his verbal abilities. He's already able to communicate softly. Additionally, Hoenig is undergoing physical therapy to aid in his mobility. "He is able to sit at the edge of the bed and stand for brief periods with help," Kärsten-Hoenig stated. The proud wife shared that Hoenig, who has two sons ages three and one, is both impulsive and optimistic. She revealed that he's "coped well with his circumstances and come to terms with everything."
Hoenig's extended stay in the intensive care unit is made feasible by the benevolence of his admirers. The crowdfunding campaign on GoFundMe, initiated to cover his medical expenses, has increased its goal from the initial 150,000 euros to 500,000 euros to accommodate the growing costs.
