Scalise's recovery has been one of ups and downs since he was severely wounded in June. Just on July 6, he was readmitted to the intensive care due to an infection.
Also yesterday, Scalise surprised his colleagues with a phone call. He joked to chief deputy whip Patrick McHenry "Has the Senate passed a healthcare bill yet?"
The congressman is said to be in good spirits.
