Billy Graham released from hospital

ASHEVILLE, N.C. — Evangelist Billy Graham has been released from an Asheville hospital.

He was treated for bronchial infection and is returning to his home in Montreat.

Graham, who is 93, was admitted to the hospital overnight Saturday after developing a cough and fever.

His family members said Monday that his condition was improving and that they are grateful for all the support and prayers.

Graham is eager to get back to writing his latest book, which is expected to be released next year. Graham's niece, Cathie Bowers, said he told her he already has plans for another book after that.
