Ford Still in Hospital, ‘Continues to Improve’
Former President Ford remained in a hospital Saturday and underwent further treatment for pneumonia.
“His pneumonia continues to improve,” said Penny Circle, Ford’s chief of staff..
Ford, 92, was admitted Jan. 14 to Eisenhower Medical Center, near his desert home. A decision about when he will be released is being considered on a day-to-day basis, Circle said.
It was Ford’s second hospitalization in five weeks. The nation’s 38th chief executive was admitted to the medical center in mid-December because of what Circle called a “horrible cold.”
