Louisiana congressman Steve Scalise's condition was upgraded from 'critical' to 'serious' Saturday and he continued to show signs of improvement after he was shot at a Republican baseball practice.
Medstar Washington Hospital Center released the update on behalf of the Scalise family. The congressman underwent another surgery Saturday, and the hospital said he was more responsive and speaking with family.
According to the Twitter account of the congressman, he has even been watching some baseball while in hospital.
The latest tweet on his official account read: 'Steve is watching LSU baseball, rooting hard for a big Tigers win tonight!'
Scalise, the House majority whip, was one of five people shot when a gunman opened fire Wednesday as the Republican team practiced in Alexandria, Virginia. He has had surgery several times since the shooting.

Some praise needs to be uttered for Medstar, which is a top-class hospital unit in the DC area.
Praise God!
What good news!
If I just saw that he was moved from critical to serious, I would have thought serious was worse. Go figure.
Thank God.
Watching baseball, he’s alert.
A lot of people involved in keeping him alive. Gold bless them.
I worked for GWU hospital as a temp for several months while looking for full time work. Best working experience of my life.
Thank you Jesus.
Thank GOD!
No mention of the second man severely injured.

Good news. He still has a long road to recovery, but as President Trump described him, Scalise is a fighter.
Thank God that would be assassin failed in his goal. The only death was his own. Providence looked kindly upon the would be victims and spared their lives. He permitted some tragedy, but not the ultimate tragedy. He has His reasons. Perhaps this will be a signpost for the eventual demise of, and the end to, Liberals’ political hate.
Pray!
Hate to admit it but I am seriously thankful our marine Jack Bergman was not shot. We just elected him and we need him!
Keep praying
Thank God.
Prayers continue for his recovery; I suspect his rehab will be torturous.
I’m so sorry he has had to go through all this and still has so much to endure. Prayers up for his complete healing asap.
I thought the same thing. So you are not alone. 8>)
From “grave” to “critical” to “serious.”
Imho, the prayers are working.
