Former advisor Carlos Bolsonaro (PL) reported on social media on Thursday evening (12/25) that he was taking turns caring for his father, Jair Bolsonaro (PL), with former first lady Michelle Bolsonaro (PL). The former president underwent surgery in Brasilia to treat a bilateral inguinal hernia.
“I continue to help @Mi_Bolsonaro care for my father during the postoperative period. Until recently, he was asleep due to the sedatives from the operation and the dipyrone given to control the pain. We take turns monitoring his movements and, especially, his sleep apnea,” Carlos wrote in X.
Bolsonaro underwent surgery lasting more than 3 hours at DF Star Hospital. The doctor in charge, surgeon Cláudio Birolini, told reporters on Thursday afternoon that everything had gone as planned, without complications, but he did not rule out the need for a new procedure soon.
In the same post on X, Carlos expressed concern about his father’s sleep apnea episodes and said they could reach up to 90 per hour. “This dysfunction, if not closely monitored, can considerably worsen the clinical picture and lead to even more serious situations than those already encountered,” he explained.
Earlier, it was Michelle who announced, also on social networks, the end of the operation, saying that it had “ended successfully”. “Now we have to wait for the anesthesia to return,” he wrote.
Bolsonaro was operated on a day after being authorized by Minister Alexandre de Moraes, of the Supreme Federal Court (STF), to leave the PF Superintendence, where he is serving a sentence of 27 years and 3 months in prison for attempted coup d’état and other crimes.
