Unusual recovery?

Question for the experts: is this an unusually fast recovery?

The pastor at the church where my children attend school had a medical emergency last month (October 23).

Age ~early to mid 60s.
He had an aortic tear.
Had he not already been in Phoenix at the time, he supposedly would have not lived long enough to have the emergency surgery.

At the time of the surgery, he also was suffering from pneumonia.

He was put into an induced coma during intial recovery from surgery.
One of his kidneys failed.
The other one was failing.

His condition started improving rapidly. Apparently this is unusual.
He completed his final dialysis treatment last weekend and his kidney is GTG.
He completes rehab this week, returns to Page on Saturday, and will be preaching on Sunday.

Don't know much about this sort of thing.
Would this qualify as an unusual recovery?
