Former President Bill Clinton has been moved from an intensive care unit to a hospital room and his recovery from a quadruple bypass operation is progressing smoothly, his office said yesterday.
Mr. Clinton sat up in bed, walked across the room with assistance and sat in a chair at the Columbia-Presbyterian Center of New York-Presbyterian Hospital in Manhattan, the office said in a statement.
Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton has "canceled everything on her schedule to remain in New York with her husband," her press secretary, Philippe Reines, said.
Mr. Clinton's recovery, like that of any bypass surgical patient, will proceed in stages over the next several weeks.
