What Happened to Ariel Sharon?

Back in July, I wrote about how Ariel Sharon was being treated with hemofiltration (similar to dialysis) for kidney failure. I had assumed he was doing poorly, but as far as I know, he hasn't died, and there isn't anything on Google News about Sharon being on chronic dialysis. Did his kidneys recover?
