"Dr. Sharma just came by to check on Papa. He said his condition is stable now. The oxygen levels are good - they're at 98%, which is normal. His heart rate is steady at around 72 beats per minute. Blood pressure is 140 over 90, which Dr. Sharma said is a bit high but manageable with the medication they're giving him. They reduced the IV drip slightly because his body is responding well. He's been sleeping peacefully for the past two hours. The chest X-ray from this morning shows the fluid in his lungs has reduced compared to yesterday, which is good progress. Dr. Sharma mentioned they might move him out of the ICU tomorrow if he continues to improve at this rate."

"Is this blood pressure level expected during recovery? When do you expect it to normalize?"
