A tearful daughter Kelly gave reporters a progress report outside the hospital where her father is being treated.
�I want to say that he�s stable. He woke up today � he couldn�t talk because of the tube in his mouth, but he was able to mouth words.
�He told us that he loved us.�
Kelly found a little humor in her visit with Ozzy. �He has been complaining about the nurses, so we know he�s all right.
�He gave me the �thumbs-up� and stuck his tongue out at me.
�That was it really, he can�t really speak because of the tube.�
Dr Dick Jack, the medical director of the hospital also spoke with reporters giving a cautious yet optimistic prognosis, �He knows where he is, he�s comfortable and he�s stable. But as I said yesterday, his progress will be slow and we don�t expect any major changes until Friday.�
In related news, The New York Post is reporting that Sharon Osbourne is taking a leave of absence from her syndicated talk show to be by her husband�s side while he recovers.
The producers of the show plan to have guest hosts take over for Sharon. "We're going to have some guest hosts and we'll keep the show in production," said a spokeswoman for Telepictures, which produces "The Sharon Osbourne Show".
Thursday�s episode will be hosted by Osbourne�s
son Jack and he is expected to give a progress report on his father�s condition.
"Jack will address his dad's situation
at the top of the show," said the Telepictures spokeswoman.
