The post was captioned: “Thank you all for your kind words,” the actor captioned the post. “I’m too messed up now to type. But I send love to you all.”

The actor’s sister, Kym Renner, shared another update with People, revealing that Renner is “crushing all the progress goals. We couldn’t feel more positive about the road ahead,” the star’s sister added. “If anyone knows Jeremy, he is a fighter and doesn’t mess around.”
Renner also posted a video on Twitter showing him getting his hair washed in the ICU. The star captioned: “A ‘not so great’ ICU DAY, turned to an amazing spa day with my sis and mama. Thank you sooooo much [sic].”
According to Deadline, Renner’s rep added: “He has returned from surgery and remains in the intensive care unit in critical but stable condition.”
“Jeremy’s family would like to express their gratitude to the incredible doctors and nurses looking after him, Truckee Meadows Fire and Rescue, Washoe County Sheriff, Reno City Mayor Hillary Schieve and the Carano and Murdock families,” the rep shared. “They are also tremendously overwhelmed and appreciative of the outpouring of love and support from his fans.”
