"He's getting better and better every day. A little stronger every day, so things are really looking great on that front," she said in an Instagram Stories video update.

She said that the actor is still fighting an infection in his lungs. Concluding her video in an upbeat tone, she said, "But mental status: We are on good, good progress with mental status."

Back in March, the Broadway actor first fell ill and was admitted to the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles thinking it was just pneumonia. Things took a turn for the worse when he was placed on a ventilator.

He has since lost his right leg when there was a complication with blood thinners.
