Arik’s Final Battle?

August 14, 2006 | Laurence Simon | Comments

Things are taking a turn for the worse for Ariel Sharon:

Ariel Sharon’s condition has deteriorated, according to the hospital where the ailing former Israeli prime minister is being treated. Anat Dolev, spokeswoman for the Chaim Sheba Medical Center, wouldn’t say whether Sharon’s life was in danger.

 

A new scan showed a deterioration in his brain function, his urine output has decreased significantly and a chest scan showed that he had a new infection, Dolev said.

 

Sharon, 78, has been in a coma since suffering a massive stroke Jan. 4. He underwent several extensive brain surgeries to stop cerebral hemorrhaging, in addition to more minor procedures.
