Bam Margera's uncle Don Vito from Viva La Bam is currently in critical condition after waking up from a coma.

Vito suffered kidney and liver failure after collapsing in his West Chester, PA, home on Tuesday, TMZ reported.
According to Margera's mother April, 59-year-old Vito was rushed to the hospital and reportedly remained in a coma until Friday morning.
Vito was a big partier for years, so the damage done to his organs was just allegedly wear and tear. Doctors weren't optimistic Vito would wake up, but once he pulled out of a coma, he reportedly shocked everyone by making phone calls.
However, Vito still has a long way to go on his path to recovery.

Viva La Bam was a spinoff of MTV's Jackass and premiered in October 2003. Margera and the rest of the show's cast members had a specific mission or challenge to carry out every episode -- typically consisting of pranks or dangerous stunts. The show's final season wrapped two years later.
