Billy Graham recovering from fall

billygraham2007.jpgEvangelist Billy Graham fell at his home in Montreat, N.C., and was hospitalized overnight Friday.

In a prepared statement released today, a spokesman for Graham said the famed preacher has returned home from Mission Hospital near Asheville.

A. Larry Ross, director of media/public relations for Graham, said the 89-year-old evangelist was admitted for observation Friday after he tripped over one of his three dogs and fell.

Ross said Graham suffered no broken bones in the fall. He said Graham chose to remain in the hospital rather than return home due to the lateness of the hour.

Ross said Graham’s personal physician, Dr. Lucian Rice, confirmed the fall should not pose a setback for the evangelist, who will turn 90 on Nov. 7.
