Bill Clinton will not be spending the holidays in a hospital bed instead he’ll be able to spend Christmas at home with his family after a brief medical scare landed him in the hospital this week.
According to Angel Ureña, the former President’s Deputy Chief of Staff, he was discharged from MedStar Georgetown University Hospital in Washington D.C. on Tuesday after being admitted on Monday with a fever. In a statement posted on X, Ureña said Bill Clinton had been treated for the flu and had remained at the hospital for observation and testing.
His statement concluded, “He and his family are deeply grateful for the exceptional care provided by the team at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital and are touched by the kind messages and well wishes he received. He sends his warmest wishes for a happy and healthy holiday season to all.”
The 78-year-old was “awake and alert” and was hoping to be out of the hospital in a day or so after being admitted on Monday.
