He was being kept sedated while under constant supervision until his condition and vital signs improve further.
Sources also said the actor's family have been by his beside the entire time, and that he has been sent flowers by American Horror Story creator Ryan Murphy, as well as other cast and crew from the show.

Woolf's good friend and co-star Naomi Grossman told E! News on Saturday that it was 'awful' to hear about him being involved in the accident.
'We're all in contact and from what I understand Kathy Bates tweeted that he was out of surgery and he's now in stable yet still critical condition,' Naomi said.
'So we're just hoping for the best. I'm waiting like for any moment they're going to tell me I can go visit and I'll be there,' she added.
Law enforcement sources told TMZ that the driver of the vehicle was not apprehended or given a citation as Woolf was allegedly jaywalking.
Woolf has previously starred in television movies such as Haunting Charles Manson, Dead In Kansas and Unlucky Charms.
His hit seriesAmerican Horror Story has also been renewed for a fifth season.
The Hollywood Reporter revealed last year that FX has ordered another season, picking up 13 episodes.
The fifth season was reported to arrive October 2015.
Casting for the show, which often sees a change-up season to season, has yet to be announced.
