sunday morning, he was suffering from an infection, it became a crisis. he was brought into houston methodist hospital and went right into the icu, and that the infection led to sepsis, which, for someone his age, with his health problems, is really dangerous. and that on sunday, they had some real scares, that twice his blood pressure dropped, and they weren t sure he was going to make it. the good news is that they ve been giving him antibiotics, they ve been giving him iv fluids and it seems to have stabilized him. he is still in the icu, but i m told that it s very serious. there was a statement put out by the family, yes? right. and that statement says that president bush was admitted to the hospital after contracting an infection that spread to his blood, that would be the sepsis, that he is responding to treatments and appears to be
well, the private organizations i think have been doing a pretty incredible job. many of them have been here since immediately after the hurricane. yeah. i think that when it comes to these basics, setting up infrastructure again, i ll give you an example, there are many of these life-saving supplies, probably close to where sara is now, at the airstrips and areas near the ports, some of the stuff exists on the island. it s here, these medications, and insulin and painkillers, iv antibiotics, iv fluids, things like that are needed in certain places. they re here. but they re not oftentimes with the people who need them. there is this disconnect, right, and there s lots of different reasons. i m sure you ve been hearing from other reporters, not enough trucks, not enough drivers, not enough fuel. i think the communication is a big part. you can t just pick up the phone and say i need x, y, z and someone will drive it over to you. that part that has been remarkably slow. again, it

people, still asking for iv fluids i know you have to go. i m so sorry. also, guys, i want to point to the fact that they re still trying to break through concrete here, and some of the new faces we re seeing over here to my right, they re just regular people that just showed up here with their own tools. i want to see if we can talk to some of them. these two guys here, they just showed up a couple minutes ago. they brought their own tools. you guys, are you professionals, or did you just show up here because you wanted to help? no, we are just volunteering here. we got here at 9:00 a.m. and we are waiting to enter. reporter: what are you hoping to do with these tools? what are you told is needed inside? [ speaking spanish ] reporter: they re asking us to move, they re asking us to
passed. again, you see more doctors going into the scene here. [ speaking spanish ] they are just confirming to me now the moment of silence is passed. we re seeing more equipment being brought in here. and again, you heard from that first responder before they re asking people to bring goggles, iv fluids, tools to cut through concrete. so 40-something hours in, some of the most basic things are still needed for these rescues to be successful. and as you guys said, that crane was brought up here this morning, but it has not moved because they need to make sure that when it does move, that they do everything so carefully to pull this little girl, other children out of there. and as we were discussing before, overnight they had to stop the rescue mission because it rained here overnight and there were some structures that did move. and so also the panorama when these structures move can change from one minute to the next. there also is a fear of
