The immanent danger to the heart passed some time ago, and much of the last week was focused on countering the expected swelling of the brain.
The danger for this would have passed by the end of the week, and that's when he was brought out of the comma and began to communicate.
If not already out of the ICU, he will be moved shortly and will spend some time being monitored.
While the risk of death has likely passed, he will likely now face a risk of seizures, which will probably diminish over time. Once the doctors are satisfied, he may transfer to a rehab hospital/facility dependent on the extent of his brain injury.
I know some ICU nurses would think he's taking up space with only an oxygen cannula.
How is someone that had two cardiac arrests not hooked up to a heart monitor?!
What I said. I'd like to know more about "his lungs are better."

He has a heart monitor on under his Jersey.
