David Ortiz is making “good progress” in the recovery from his shooting injuries, according to his wife.
In a new statement Wednesday afternoon, Tiffany Ortiz said her husband has taken his first steps since being shot in an apparent ambush Sunday in the Dominican Republic. The 43-year-old retired Red Sox slugger was flown to Boston on Monday and, according to his wife, is continuing to recuperate in the intensive care unit at Massachusetts General Hospital under the direction of treating trauma surgeon Dr. David King.
“Yesterday and this morning, David was able to sit up as well as take some steps,” Tiffany Ortiz said.
