Today they have managed to get him off a ventilator and get him on something called a CPAP with assisted breathing!
It's basically him breathing by himself, but with a gentle flow of oxygen going into his lungs, and when he takes his own breathe the machine gives a gentle push to help him.
His CO2 levels have gone up a little bit, but he is doing so well!
This is one step closer to getting him off ICU. :0)
