Doctors said this afternoon actor Thridsadee “Por” Sahawong has made some progress in his recovery after being in a coma for three weeks and having his left foot amputated.
The nation has been shocked over the sudden illness of Por, 37, after he was struck with dengue fever and suffered complications from the disease. However he has made some progress since the amputation of his foot on Saturday night, Ramathibodi Hospital doctors said.
Por can now open his eyes and move his arms, and the wound on his left ankle where his infected foot was amputated is recovering well.
The soap star can also breathe by himself but sometimes needs to use a nebulizer.
Por also had colon surgery Monday after doctors found bleeding, but they have been able to stop giving him muscle relaxants and blood transfusions.
Doctors are still monitoring Por closely and watching out for other infections, but Por has been responding well to treatment, Daily News and Sanook reported.
