Randy Travis remains in critical condition but remains stabilized. Travis has been under heavy sedation since surgery following a stroke. 54-year-old Randy Travis has been hospitalized since Sunday after suffering congestive heart failure due to a viral illness.

Randy Travis, the country music star, suffered a stroke while undergoing surgery at a Texas hospital late Wednesday. Earlier Wednesday, prior to the stroke, doctors said that Travis was showing signs of improvement.

As a result of his heart condition, acutely, and the stroke, he was put on a ventilator to help him breathe during his hospitalization. He remains on that, but we are decreasing that support daily," Dr. Gary Erwin said. "He is breathing spontaneously with the help of the ventilator and hope to have him weaned off of that very soon breathing completely on his own."

Erwin added that Travis responded well to the surgical procedure he had to relieve the pressure in his brain caused by his stroke. "He is awake and alert, interacting with his family and friends and beginning to start doing some early physical therapy," he said.

Travis was admitted to Baylor Medical Center McKinney near his home in Tioga, about 60 miles north of Dallas, through the emergency room Sunday. Randy  underwent a procedure to have a pump inserted by catheter that increases blood flow before being transferred to The Heart Hospital Baylor Plano.

William Gray and Michael Mack of the Baylor Health Care System in Texas described Travis' condition and hospitalization in a video statement earlier Wednesday.

"His condition has stabilized, and he has shown signs of improvement," Mack said in the video. "On behalf of Mr. Travis' family, friends and associates, we would like to express our extreme gratitude for the overwhelming affection and support that Mr. Travis has received."
