Gov. Eloy S. Inos will reunite with the rest of his family this Christmas when family members still on Saipan fly to Seattle to be with him this holiday season.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe governor\u2019s fine and recovering. He has family already there staying with him and he also has family who are still here like Gerald and Kay. I know they will fly out and spend their Christmas there with him but I don\u2019t know for how long,\u201d said press secretary Ivan Blanco yesterday when asked for an update on Inos\u2019 health.<\/p>\n
While he is still recovering from open-heart surgery in the U.S. mainland, Blanco said Inos remains updated about the affairs of the CNMI government, with acting governor Ralph DLG Torres communicating with him.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe keeps in constant contact with the acting governor. Sometimes, when he\u2019s sleeping, it\u2019s his brother Rufin who talks to Torres.\u201d<\/p>\n
As to the timetable of Inos\u2019 return to Saipan, Blanco said it\u2019s still up in the air.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were kind of speculating it would be December or January but it all depends on his doctors\u2026He still has to do his physical therapy. You have to understand he underwent surgery and is still on dialysis. He\u2019s not 20-something years old\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Inos underwent an \u201cendoscopic\u201d procedure on his heart in early November.<\/p>\n
Several months ago, Inos underwent continuing examinations and medical treatments following his heart operation in the Philippines last summer, said a statement from Torres yesterday.<\/p>\n
Inos suffers from diabetes. Prior to his surgery in Seattle, he underwent dialysis at the Commonwealth Health Center thrice a week. Last January, Inos was confined to the hospital due to symptoms of pneumonia. Months earlier in November 2014, Inos\u2019 health was a talking point during the 2014 general elections and subsequent runoff.<\/p>\n
In November 2014, Inos disclosed that his medical leave to Manila that month was for a follow up to a bypass surgery he had in 2006.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
