Clinton is going home his Recovery Is not Progressing well
we must pray a prayer for him

ormer President Bill Clinton is going home. he had been moved from an intensive care unit to a hospital room and his recovery from a quadruple bypass operation is not progressing smoothly, sources have reported to us.

Mr. Clinton sat up in bed, walked across the room with assistance he was in great pain. He sat in a chair for only a short time before going back to bed. He is still at the Columbia-Presbyterian Center of New York-Presbyterian Hospital in Manhattan. He is in great pain and seems very discourage.

Mr. Clinton's recovery, like that of any bypass surgical patient, will proceed in stages over the next several weeks. He has not bounced back as so many thought he would.

He passed the first stage when a breathing tube in his windpipe that was connected to a breathing machine was removed late Monday night. That allowed him to speak and breathe on his own.

A second stage in the recovery was moving from an intensive care unit to what is known as a step-down unit and a regular hospital room. Doctors routinely connect patients to an electrocardiographic monitor to detect any abnormal heart rhythms if they arise and treat them as needed. Instead of being in intensive care for only one or two days he was there for three. He is still connected to all of the heart monitors for now.

At a news conference on Monday, Mr. Clinton's doctors said they expected him to stay in the hospital for four to five days after the operation. The statement by Mr. Clinton's office yesterday said he was expected to stay in the hospital room "for the next several days." Because of concerns he now will stay in the hospital for several more days.

His new diet is intended to prevent a build-up of fatty deposits in the blood vessels that the doctors took from his chest and left leg and grafted to bypass four coronary arteries that were nearly completely blocked by such deposits.

Mr. Clinton has developed abnormally high blood pressure at this time so he will be placed on durgs to control his unusally high blood pressure. His blood pressure has risen to abnormally high levels at this time. That condition is called labile hypertension.

Later, after he goes home, Mr. Clinton's doctors said he would gradually resume exercising and work at a pace determined by how he feels and by their advice. It may be four to six months before he is back to normal.Hillary

Rodham Clinton has "canceled everything on her schedule to remain in New York with her husband," because she is so conderned. Just as any wife would be at this time.
