Two days later, on Sunday, Michelle updated her fans, this time only in Spanish. In the photo, we can see Jimmy hooked up to medical equipment in a hospital gown, and Michelle even shared that the reason his hands are all bound up is because he keeps waking up confused and trying to remove all of his equipment.

According to her update, Jimmy's condition is improving and he's back to 80 percent consciousness, meaning that he's awake, calm, understands the things he's being told, and has been able to keep down a liquid diet.

Estaré contigo hasta el final en las buenas y en las malas, siempre a tu lado sin importar los obstáculos. Mi gente siempre lo voy a decir yo sin ustedes no soy nadie, en este caso me están ayudando con sus oraciones por que mi dios nos están escuchando, y ayer fue un gran día mi Jimmy está reaccionando y respirando por si solo, sigue crítico pero estable. Sus mejoras son muy pocas, pero me llenan de fuerza y esperanza y sobre todo me deja muy claro de que dios está con nosotros y nos está oyendo. Disculpa si no contesto mensajes o llamadas o si algunos pedido no están llegando a tiempo, pero ahora mi cabeza no la tengo bien, y estoy tratando de organizarme, estar tranquila y fuerte para mi esposo porque el me necesita. El diagnóstico de Jimmy es Insuficiencia hepática aguda, insuficiencia renal aguda, e insuficiencia cardíaca con aneurisma de la arteria aorta ascendente y disección aórtica. Jimmy esta luchando, y el es muy fuerte, bueno en la foto lo pueden ver, le taparon sus manitas por que se trata de parar todo confundido a tratar de quitarse todo. Hoy también es un buen día para nosotros las enzimas están bajando y es muy buena señal. Domingo 8:30 am Lo tenemos en un 80 % de regreso a nivel de conciencia. Esta mas despierto hoy. Más sereno. Entiende todo. Paso a dieta líquida. Ya sabe lo que le paso. Bajaron más las enzimas hepáticas de ayer para hoy. Ahora AST bajo de 2792 a 1738. ALT bajo de 4300 a 3550. Riñones creatinine 6,3 (está bajando también). Ahora esta en diálisis de nuevo. Potasio 5.2. ¡Sigan orando porfavor! Dios nos esta escuchando.🙏🏻 Gracias a todos.

"I will be with you until the end, in the good times and the bad, always by your side regardless of the obstacles," she captioned the most recent photo of her husband in Spanish (translation ours). "My people, I will always say it: Without you, I'm nobody, and in this case you are helping me with your prayers because God is listening to us and yesterday was a great day. My Jimmy is reacting and breathing by himself, he's still in critical condition but he's stable."

"His improvements are few, but they fill me with strength and hope, and above all, they make it very clear that God is with us and is listening to us," her post continued. Michelle went on to apologize for not answering to messages and phone calls, saying that she doesn't have her head on straight and is trying to conserve all her energy to be present for her husband, which is understandable!
