It means that your vital signs (heart rate, temperature, blood pressure, etc.) are not fluctuating and at a level that can sustain life. In general, it means that your overall medical condition is maintaining itself at a steady level.Depending on the problem, it doesn't necessarily mean you are out of danger, but it does mean that your condition hasn't deteriorated...for the moment.

Exactly means that your condition is not worsening, the hospital can charge more days of intensive care to your relatives.
You won't die today, but can't guarantee that tomorrow.

That's a very good word to hear when you are in IC. It has a positive meaning, it means all the signs are there that you have a good chance of pulling through

stable: the physical state of the patient doesn't change, but remains approximately the same
therefore, not getting worse, but not better either
nevertheless, it is usually incouraging, becausestable means that the threat of death has (for the time at least) been averted.

it means that while you are in need of very acute care, your condition is not worsening. Your body is stable, no acute episodes at the moment

It means that your condition has levelled out, you're out of the "extreme danger" zone, but you're not fully recovered yet, and it also means that your condition isn't changing rapidly from one minute to the next.
