From the Charlotte Observer-
Evangelist Billy Graham was resting comfortably Wednesday night in an Asheville hospital after being admitted with a possible case of pneumonia.
A statement from the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association said Graham was admitted Wednesday morning to Mission Hospital for respiratory problems. It's Graham's fifth hospital stay since 2007. In May, he spent five days at Mission, also for pneumonia.
Pulmonologist Mark Hellreich was treating the 93-year-old Graham.
Larry Ross, Graham's longtime spokesman, said the evangelist recently developed a cough, congestion and a slight fever. Doctors decided to keep Graham overnight for observation as a precaution.
According to the statement, Graham was alert when he was admitted, smiling and waving at hospital employees.
Meanwhile in Charlotte, several well-wishers gathered at the Billy Graham Library to pray for his recovery.
