Lester Domínguez, the young Cuban who has spent over a year unable to walk after being macheted in a violent assault in Holguín, has continued his rehabilitation in Havana.
According to his father's Facebook profile, Lester will arrive at Julio Díaz hospital this Wednesday to continue his recovery.
"He's been a year and three months and still hasn't been able to take a step, he's stronger in his arms and legs and has sensitivity throughout his body. Let's hope for new advances," he commented.
At the end of May, Dennis reported that he was trying to enroll his son in Julito Díaz to start some therapy that would allow him to walk again.
At that time, Lester asked his dad to take him out of the country, after confirming that there are no conditions for his development in Cuba.
"The child sees that everything becomes more difficult with the problems caused by the power outages in Cuba and does not have the necessary conditions for such progress, he tells me that the best way I can help him is by leaving the country," he said.
"We have many relatives abroad and in the end, always struggling to make ends meet, and to avoid having to beg for money for their recovery, he tells me to try it for Nicaragua. Let me see if I can please him, even if it's the last thing I do in life," he emphasized.
On May 15th, the trial against Lester's attacker took place.
The accused, identified as Adrián Grass Bermúdez, is facing a 20-year prison sentence for the machete attack on his son and an additional four years for two cell phones he snatched from other victims, which were recovered, along with Lester's phone that was found buried in the attacker's backyard.
