Conley and rest of the team members are wearing masks for Walter Reed briefing.
"Since we spoke last, the president has continued to improve," Conley says. He says as with all illnesses, there are ups and downs over the course. He says the president experienced TWO drops in oxygen sats over course of his illness.
Conley no longer sounds like he's editing himself, as he did yesterday.
Dooley says potus has remained without fever since Friday morning. He's ambulatory and walking around the unit "without limitation or disability."
Continued monitoring of cardiac, kidney and liver functioning show normal results, Dooley says.
Garibaldi up now. Says POTUS has tolerated Remdesivr well. "Today he feels well," he says, saying plan is for POTUS to be up and about and that if things go well they can plan for a discharge as soon as tomorrow to White House.
Conley being asked about second oxygen drop. Said it happened Saturday, dropped to 93 percent, they watched it and it went back up.
Conley says he has to check if POTUS had second oxygen yesterday but if he did it would have been brief.
Conley says they're tracking possible damage to lungs. He said there's some "expected findings" but then briskly moves to another reporter and doesn't explain what that meant.
Conley insists Meadows was "misconstrued" yesterday. Conley says that they're performing lung testing on Trump and he's "maxing it out." "He's doing great." Trump is on a third medicine now.
Conley says when he was not disclosing the info yesterday he was trying to reflect an "upbeat" attitude and make sure not to "steer the course of the illness" in another direction. Meaning, he didn't want to rattle the president.
