Former resident Bill Clinton will remain overnight in an Orange County hospital following a urological infection, but he has continued to make “excellent progress” and is expected to be discharged on Sunday, his spokesman said in a statement on Saturday.
The 75-year-old, who served as president from 1993 to 2001, entered the UC Irvine Medical Center on Tuesday evening after suffering from fatigue.
Clinton spokesperson Angel Urena said the former president was doing well.
“He is in great spirits and has been spending time with family, catching up with friends, and watching college football,” Urena said in a statement posted on Twitter.
Clinton’s wife, former Secretary of State and 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, was at the hospital on Saturday.
The former President also received a phone call Friday from President Joe Biden.
“Oh, I wanted to see how he was doing,” Biden told reporters while traveling in Connecticut. “He’s doing fine. He really is. And he’s going to be released from the hospital. And we talked about, which we were going to do before, getting together. I haven’t seen him in a while, and for him to come over and have some lunch and talk.”
Since his admission to the hospital’s intensive care unit, he has received fluids and antibiotics, his doctors said.
Clinton, who was in California to attend a dinner and reception for his foundation in Los Angeles County, has dealt with health problems in the past. He had quadruple bypass operation in 2004 and a procedure to open a blocked artery in 2010.
