AP: Billy Graham returns home after nearly 2-week hospital stay for intestinal bleeding

Posted by Kendall Harmon

Evangelist Billy Graham was released from a hospital Thursday, nearly two weeks after he was admitted for intestinal bleeding, officials said.

Doctors identified the source of Graham’s bleeding during a colonoscopy last week, said Merrill Gregory, a spokeswoman for Mission Health & Hospitals in Asheville. Physicians were able to treat the condition.

‘‘We have been pleased that he has been able to come back from this incident as well as he has,’’ said Dr. Lucian Rice, Graham’s personal physician. ‘‘He will continue to have therapy at home, and I feel that he can have a very good recovery.’’

Rice said he expects the 88-year-old evangelist will continue to regain his strength.
