Billy Graham Returns Home from N.C. Hospital; Had Difficulty Breathing, Treated for Pneumonia

Billy Graham has returned to his home in Montreat, North Carolina, after being treated for pneumonia at a hospital, the Christian Post website reports today (May 17, 2011).

The 92-year-old evangelist was admitted to Mission Hospital in nearby Asheville on May 11 after having difficulty breathing. His physician, Dr. Lucian Rice, said he was delighted with the the pace of Graham's recovery.

Graham -- one of the world's best known evangelists -- has met or ministered every U.S. president since 1950. Moreover, he has reached more than two billion people with the message of the Gospel through crusades and radio and TV broadcasts.

His son, Franklin Graham, has followed in his footsteps -- conducting evangelistic crusades attended by tens of thousands of people -- and running the ministry founded by his father, the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.
