House Majority Whip Steve Scalise was released from ICU on Wednesday after nearly a week, Fox News confirmed.
Scalise, R-La., has been treated at MedStar Washington Hospital since June 14, when he and four others were shot during a congressional baseball practice, and remains in serious condition at the facility.
Scalise was returned to the ICU last week after contracting an infection from his gunshot wounds.
Scalise, prior to going back to the ICU on July 5, was listed in fair condition, but the hospital downgraded that to serious last week after infection concerns and a subsequent surgery. According to people close to the matter, Scalise faces at least two more surgeries, which have yet to be scheduled.
Congressman Steve Scalise underwent surgery for the management of infection. He tolerated the procedure well, MedStar Washington released on behalf of the Scalise family after his July 6 surgery. He remains in serious condition. We will provide updates as appropriate.

Just as long as they keep him away from that doctor that worked on Seth Rich.
All because of some guy hyped up by the Leftist media.
All that talk of killing Trump, stolen elections, and other fictional high crimes and misdemeanors was bound to show dividends sooner or later.
I know I get exercised when folks talk of Rush building folks up, but he never advocates violence.
People on the right expect to get restoration at the ballot box. People on the left love elections only as long as they win. Then they go postal!
I sure hope this guy makes a full recovery.
That’s tossed around a lot, but you never fully recover from something this serious. He’ll probably have lingering issues, if only pain, the rest of his life.
Scalise needs to be moved to a hospital other than the one he is in!
He has a long road ahead of him
Now that he’s back out of ICU, I hope he, as the member with the most current personal experience in. healthcare, records a message to his colleagues in the Senate, to redeem HIS promise and repeal Obamacare. That, when released as the first public words from him since the shooting, would shift some votes. And he’s likely up to delivering that audio.
All because of some guy hyped up by the Leftist media.
We’re watching Incredibles as I write this. Incredibles 2 comes out next summer! Can’t wait!
Gads he’s going through hell. Prayers for him.
Yes, prayers for complete healing. I pray for a miracle that cannot be denied by doctors as anything but!!! Prayers for him and his family by his side.
Yeah, I’m looking forward to it. :D
Good points. I realize that. I am trying to be positive about it. The whole thing is so pointless and tragic.
It’s been way too long. Certainly Brad Bird’s time would have been better spent on Incredibles 2 that Tomorrowland...
Yeah I think it’s been 13 years or so?
I would dearly love to see a transfer to Ben Taub in Houston, Texas.
Gracious Lord, hear our prayer!
That’s a lovely photo.
Anybody got more news on his condition?
