According to the Argentine News Agency, the 87-year-old woman is hospitalized at the Sanatorio Trinidad in Palermo. The reason for her hospitalization was a "pre-existing problem," due to a case of intestinal obstruction that occurred months ago: "In November, when Coca began to feel an inflammation in her belly. That is why they are not discharging her; it could happen at any moment or not," reported Peralta. He also detailed that the family's fear is that Coca may now develop a nosocomial infection due to the length of her hospital stay. Buenos Aires, February 27 (NA) – There is concern for the health of Aída "Coca" Elena Picardi, better known as the mother of Iliana and Marina Calabró and the partner of the late comedian Juan Carlos Calabró. Panelist Nicolás Peralta reported this Thursday on "Salve quien pueda" that the "matriarch" of the Calabró family has been in the intensive care unit for a week and a half. "They couldn't find what was wrong with her, they hospitalized her and they saw it was an intestinal obstruction, they did studies and it came back," the journalist detailed. However, the studies later revealed that the pain was linked to pericarditis, an inflammation of the layer that covers the heart. "They managed to stabilize her, they did a puncture and are waiting for the result."
