Former President Gerald Ford in hospital
Via AP:
RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. (AP) – Former President Ford was undergoing treatment for pneumonia Monday at the same facility where he was briefly hospitalized a month ago, his chief of staff said. He was said to be doing well.
Ford, 92, was admitted Saturday to Eisenhower Medical Center near his home in Rancho Mirage in Southern California, Penny Circle said.
“Based on his age it is prudent for his initial course of treatment – IV antibiotics – to be done at the hospital,” Circle told The Associated Press.
Ford was expected to be released from the hospital Wednesday or Thursday, she said.
“He’s doing very well,” she said.
Hospital spokeswoman Elizabeth Wholihan referred inquiries to Circle, who said in a statement that there would be no further comment until a press release is issued Tuesday.
Ford was admitted to the hospital Dec. 12 and left the next day. Circle said at the time that Ford had undergone a regularly scheduled health exam but noted that he also had been battling a bad cold.
Asked if the pneumonia was the result of any lingering effects from the cold, Circle said, “I don’t think so.”
Here’s hoping for a speedy recovery.

Ford, as did Reagan, and Bush 41, have behaved themselves with quiet dignity and have not gone out of their way to lambast or criticize the presidents which followed them. They demonstrate a level of class and maturity former Democratic presidents can not hope to equal.
Ford is a good man, and I hope he recovers quickly.
Former President Ford once spoke at my high school. After all the jokes about him, I was surprised to learn that he seemed like an intelligent, serious, decent man with a lot of interesting things to say. I think that was my introduction to the way both news and entertainment media treated (and still treats) Republicans, and I paid a LOT more attention to what Ronald Reagan had to say after that, instead of just listening to what I was told about him.
Aye me too Severian. He was President in tough times. I still remember how mad I was at him for pardoning Richard Nixon. Ohhh well water under the bridge, that decision by him didn’t really affect me then and it doesn’t in anyway affect me now. – Lorica
