The weight gain points towards a good prognosis, although he'll gain weight from not being in heavy training. Can't say the severity without seeing the bloodwork, but the last bloodwork they publicized only had mild changes, so I'd be very optimistic.
It doesn't necessarily have to be chronic - could resolve. They'll just have to see.
This fits precisely with everything they've ever said about the horse publicly.
