After nearly a two week stay, Billy Graham is going home.
The Charlotte-born evangelist was admitted to the hospital, 20 minutes from his home, in the wee hours of Aug. 18 because of intestinal bleeding. He had two more episodes while at the hospital, but none since doctors cauterized the bleeding in Graham’s colon Aug. 22.
“We have been pleased that he has been able to come back from this incident as well as he has,” Dr. Lucian Rice, Graham’s personal physician, said today. “He will continue to have therapy at home, and I feel that he can have a very good recovery.”
