He is doing much better than how he was day before yesterday. There is a slight improvement in the lungs, he is feeling comfortable without sedation. The doctors are happy that he has taken a first step towards recovery. Though it won't be a fast run, it will be slow and steady and this is the first step. I visited my father on Wednesday and he was more awake and and was responding better than the day before yesterday (Monday). He tried to communicate and write but he found it difficult to hold a pen. But during this week, he will be able to write to communicate with me. I have told the hospital to read a newspaper to him, I asked him if he is okay with that and he said yes. He is also listening to music and tapping to music and is also trying to sing. These are very good signs of recovery. 

SP Charan captioned the video as, "26/8/20 #SPB health update". You can check out the Instagram post here:
