mandela had been hospitalized in pretoria on june 8th for a recurring lung infection. debora patta is in johannesburg with more. good morning, debora. >> reporter: some of nelson mandela's family say they are delighted he is back home but in fact, the news is a lot more grim. nelson mandela's return home does not indicate any change in his condition. he remains critically ill, unable to breathe on his own, and on a number of life supporting machines. and, in fact, our sources tell us that at least two dozen oxygen tanks were brought to his home here in harten in preparation for a potential home hospitalization. and that is really the keyword here. his home is being turned into a virtual 24-hour intensive care unit where he receives exactly the same care that he was receiving at his pretoria hospital. his wife has wanted her husband to return home for some time now, but doctors believe that he might not survive the some 30-mile trip back to johannesburg, that it was just too risky, and a plan to whisk him away had to be aborted for that reason. but eventually, yesterday

it was a potentially hazardous journey the some 30 miles from his pretoria hospital to his johannesburg home, but according to our source inside his home, nelson mandela made the journey safely. however, his return home should in no way be seen as an indication that his condition has changed in any way. he remains critically ill and, according to the government, he sometimes becomes unstable, requiring medical intervention and, in fact, his home has been reconfigured so that he can receive the same 24-hour intensive care that he was receiving in his pretoria hospital. nelson mandela has long expressed the wish to spend his final days at home rather than in the sterile hospital bed, and according to one source, intimately connected to the family, the doctors have done their best, but there is nothing more that they can do for him at his pre-or pretoria hospital, as returned them to spend his final days here, however long that may be. charlie? >> thank you. near home, smoke conditions at yosemite national park are hampering efforts to extinguish a two-week-old wildfire that has charred mo
