Reverend Billy Graham was finally released from hospital Tuesday after spending six days recovering from pneumonia, says a hospital spokeswoman.
According to reports at BCNN, doctors have decided to let the 93-year-old Graham go home after he responded well to antibiotics and physical therapy. These appeared to increase his strength after his latest illness, said Nancy Lindell, a spokeswoman for Mission Hospital in Asheville, N.C.
Graham gave thanks and was grateful for the many prayers from around the world.
"I also appreciated the wonderful treatment I received here from such caring doctors and nurses, and feel I have made some new friends," Graham said. "But I am especially looking forward to seeing my home decorated for Christmas and spending the holidays with members of my family."
Graham was admitted to the hospital Nov. 30 after suffering from congestion, a cough and slight fever.
"We are gratified that he has had a good response to treatment and we're committed to good home care to continue his improvement," said Dr. Lucian Rice, Graham's personal physician.
Regardless of his recent health scare, Graham plans to continue writing his next book, which he said will summarize his six decades of work.
