Reagan is out of hospital
Former First Lady Nancy Reagan was back home in Bel-Air on Tuesday after a two-day hospital stay prompted by a fall, a family spokeswoman said. She took a spill at home Sunday morning and was taken to St. John’s Health Center in Santa Monica. The 86-year-old Reagan did not break any bones, and extensive medical tests all produced negative results, said family spokeswoman Joanne Drake.
The former first lady returned home Tuesday and is “just taking a lot of phone calls from friends,” Drake said. About 5,000 visitors to the Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley on Monday wrote her cards and messages, and her house is full of flowers, Drake said. “She’s just really thrilled to be home.”
Reagan last appeared in public at a speaking event with NBC news anchor Brian Williams at the library Feb. 8.
