Things are beginning to look a bit more on the positive side for him. He has been off the ventilator now since last Saturday. His breathing has improved. He has graduated from a full oxygen mask to only a canula (the small type that inserts into the nostrils). He is very hoarse, and still sounds weak but things are looking up. It turns out he doesn't have Septicemia. He said that he was supposed to be moved from Intensive Care to a private room possibly this afternoon. Now let's wait and see.
