Billy Graham Continues Recovery in Hospital

Billy Graham is showing signs of improvement as he continues to recover from pneumonia at Mission Hospital in Asheville, N.C. Nurses report that he had a restful night and slept well after a busy Sunday visiting with family and friends.

His children Franklin Graham, Gigi Graham, Anne Graham Lotz and her two daughters were among the visitors.

Graham also watched his pastor, Dr. Don Wilton, deliver his regular Sunday sermon on television.

“Doctors are encouraged by Mr. Graham’s significant clinical progress, but have not yet set a date for discharge,” hospital spokeswoman Merrell Gregory said in a statement. She also reported progress in Graham’s physical therapy, saying he is “walking more in the private corridor outside his room.”
