Bill Clinton is making progress, is expected to be discharged Sunday, the spokesman said

Clinton “continued to make excellent progress,” Ureña added. “He will stay overnight at UC Irvine Medical Center to continue receiving IV antibiotics before an expected discharge tomorrow.”

Clinton has spent several days in the intensive care unit for a urinary tract infection that spread to his bloodstream, CNN reported earlier.

“He’s in a good mood and has spent time with family, made friends and watched college football,” Ureña noted.

CNN cameras filmed former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and daughter Chelsea Clinton arriving at the facility Saturday morning for a visit.

Clinton received several calls from benevolent Saturday, including Vice President Kamala Harris, former President George W. Bush and Clinton’s own former Vice President Al Gore, according to a source familiar with the situation. President Joe Biden also spoke with the former president in a phone call last Friday.

Clinton has been walking around the hospital since he recovered. “He was just walking on the floor and the staff at the hospital had to ask him to slow down,” the source said.

According to a source who knows the situation, the kind of antibiotics needed to treat Clinton’s type of infection must be administered via IV and not orally, which is why he remains in the hospital.

Clinton, who was in California for a private event for her foundation, had felt tired Tuesday and was hospitalized after tests, according to his office. Hillary Clinton went to the event Thursday night to “represent them both” and then went to the hospital to be with the former president, a spokesman for Clinton told CNN.

The former president’s doctors said that urological infections are very common in older people and that they can be easily treated, although they can spread quickly to the bloodstream.

Clinton, 75, had a quadruple bypass heart surgery in 2004 and had two stents inserted to open an artery in 2010. His doctors stressed that his current hospitalization is not heart or Covid-19 related.
