Now hoping for swift healing.”According to Rushdie’s son, Zafar Rushdie, his dad “remains in critical condition,” but “We are extremely relieved that yesterday he was taken off the ventilator and additional oxygen and he was able to say a few words,” he told NBC News.“Though his life-changing injuries are severe, his usual feisty & defiant sense of humor remains intact,” Zafar’s statement continued. “We are so grateful to all the audience members who bravely leaped to his defense and administered first aid along with the police and doctors who have cared for him and for the outpouring of love and support from around the world.”“We ask for continued patience and privacy as the family comes together at his bedside to support and help him through this time,” he concluded.A person benefited from Anne Heche’s organs after she was taken from live supportHilary Duff shares emotional message amid daughter’s health updatePete Davidson is reportedly seeing a therapist due to Kanye West’s online bullying and harassment behaviorThe novelist and author of the 1988 book The Satanic Verses put his name front and center as he became the subject of controversy.
