thanks everyone. Amazingly enough, he has recovered very quickly and may even be out of the hospital by tomorrow. He was moved out of Intensive Care tonight and into a regular room. Turns out he has/had a severe infection in the flap of skin that covers your esophagus, causing severe pain, trouble breathing, etc. They have him on a constant IV drip of steroids and he was just taken off morphine this afternoon. He is stable now. I'm not very close to my family at all but I've been incredibly worried and feeling very sensitive and emotional recently as a result. Thanks everyone for caring.
