Hopeful news comes from Mar del Plata's Maternal and Infant Hospital regarding Bastián Jerez, the boy who was seriously injured in an accident in the Pinamar dunes. His recovery will continue in the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area (AMBA), and they are preparing his transfer via a high-complexity air ambulance, which is expected to be imminent. The operation aims to take him to the Italian Hospital of San Justo to begin a specialized post-traumatic rehabilitation treatment, according to the Argentine News Agency. After days of deep uncertainty, Bastián's clinical condition took a positive turn last Tuesday. "He gave us smiles," shared his mother, highlighting that the boy shows signs of recovery that doctors describe as very favorable given the initial severity of his condition.

Transfer and Rehabilitation The family had been requesting speed in the referral to not lose valuable time in neurological stimulation. According to his mother, the boy came out of the coma and had moments of lucidity that moved everyone around him. In this context, Bastián was able to identify his parents and immediate relatives. It was reported this Sunday that the flight is scheduled for the first hour of Monday, conditional on the patient's clinical stability and weather conditions. At the Italian Hospital of San Justo, a multidisciplinary team awaits him to begin post-traumatic neurological rehabilitation, a slow but essential process to recover motor and cognitive functions. Finally, after authorization from IOMA, the province of Buenos Aires was arranging the air logistics.
