Renner is wearing an oxygen mask.
Thank you to the ICU team who started "this journey" with him, the Marvel star wrote.

In another Instagram story, he thanked him for his "love" on his birthday.
Renner posted a short video of young athletes from a Chicago nonprofit singing and dancing to wish the actor a happy birthday.
Renner turned 52 on Saturday.
The actor was run over by his snowplow on New Year's Day while attempting to clear a stuck vehicle after heavy snowfall in the mountainous region near Lake Tahoe.
He was taken to the clinic in Reno by helicopter.
He had to have an operation there.
Renner, who had played in the superhero series "Avengers" and in two "Mission: Impossible" films, among other things, turned to his fans on Instagram two days after the serious accident and thanked them for the many wishes for recovery.
