Evangelist Billy Graham in hospital with infection
ASHEVILLE, N.C. (AP) — A spokesman for Billy Graham says the 93-year-old evangelist has been admitted to a North Carolina hospital for an infection in his lungs.
A joint statement Sunday from Graham's spokesman and Mission Hospital says Graham was admitted overnight for evaluation and treatment of an infection thought to be bronchitis. The hospital is in Asheville, near his home in Montreat.
Pulmonologist David Pucci says Graham is resting comfortably and his condition is stable. He is receiving antibiotics.
Graham spokesman Larry Ross says the evangelist was able to watch a television feed of his grandson, Will Graham, preaching on Sunday morning.
Graham was hospitalized for pneumonia last November. His staff says the evangelist's health has been good since his release, though he remains at home due to age-related conditions. He is working on a manuscript for an upcoming book.

 @ClickClackNW Yea, it DOES sound terrible. Billy Graham is a great man, and has done great things in the lives of millions of people. What have YOU done to better society? Or do you just wish death upon people?
 @LoudNoises Well I never took money from poor families and then said I would pray for them. I never spouted from the top of my lungs that people were going to hell for being socialist, commies, gays, democrats, non christians, etc etc...I dont run a FOR-PROFIT church, My speeches never inspired anyone kill for their for religion.I dont deny science, evolution or climate change. Whats worse,me, wishing death, knowing full well, that he'll got same place Ill go eventually, or him telling billions of people they will burn for eternity in hell? get clue, read a book other than the bible....
@ClickClackNW I think he would agree with you on that, ALL of us are worthless apart from Christ's loving forgiveness.
@Silvia This ClickClack person is obviously not well. Â
 @Silvia I do NOT need or want your gods love or forgiveness. Your god cause's wars and division between people...Ever heard of a agnostic or atheist suicide bomber? nope.
"With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion." Steven Weinberg
and take Pat Robertson with you.....
@ClickClackNW What happened to you to make you so intolerant? You realize that your opinions and comments offend 90% of THE WORLD, right? Do you hate all people of faith, Buddhist, Hindus, and Muslims, or do you just hate Christians? 90% of the WORLD believes in a creator or higher power, so you might want to explain your position on people of faith because most people of faith seek peace, are kind and generous.
