- The seriously ill German actor Heinz Hoenig is still waiting for a vital operation on his aorta.
- Now his wife Annika Kärsten-Hoenig has once again given an update on the day-to-day care of the 73-year-old patient.
- Kärsten-Hoenig says she is constantly on duty from early in the morning until late at night.
"The last few days have been very challenging," says Annika Kärsten-Hoenig to the magazine "Bunte". She is talking about the state of health of her husband, actor Heinz Hoenig.
After the 39-year-old had not posted regularly on social media in recent days, fans were worried.
Kärsten-Hoenig is a trained nurse and cares for her seriously ill husband at home. She also looks after their two young sons.
Constantly on duty from early in the morning until late at night
Annika Kärsten-Hoenig says she is constantly on duty from early in the morning until late at night. Her husband's medical care in particular demands her time and energy. Heinz Hoenig is artificially fed and also receives physiotherapy.
Annika Kärsten-Hönig has now told "Bunte" that she has organized a support network. This network will be on hand to help her with her husband's medical appointments in future.
After a first heart operation last spring, Heinz Hoenig is waiting for a second vital operation on his aorta. However, this can only be carried out when the actor's health is stable enough.
