The following excerpts an email I sent to my colleagues at work:

Suzy's condition remains grave. She continues unconscious on a ventilator, with congested lungs, pneumonia, and liver failure. We had a note of encouragement today as her urine output increased, but she continues on a long and perilous road.

As an aside, the Norfolk office should be thankful for Sentara Norfolk General Hospital. The doctors and staff at both the ER and ICU are unbelievable. We have found them without exception to be professional, knowledgeable, respectful, and compassionate. Count yourselves lucky to live amongst (or is it among? The grammar Nazi is too tired to find out) such people and luckier still to have access to them when you need them most.
