Ah that's great news, I was a bit concerned when you said he was having trouble breathing on his own. I'm really glad it turned out to be just a matter of time.

You must all be so relieved.
It sucks about your job, though like Lady C says if you've got to be out of work at least you timed it well. lol
I hope you get a chance to visit with them too, it will be good to get a look at him so you can see for yourself how well he's doing. It might help you stop worrying about him as much.
Sleeping on the ground floor makes sense, I mean climbing stairs might be a bit of a strain at the moment.
I hope that he continues to recover as well as this, and he's feeling better very soon.
Best wishes to you all.
