He is feeling better and looks forward to returning home soon,” a spokeswoman said
Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter was hospitalized again over the weekend, this time for a urinary tract infection, days after he was released from the hospital following surgery to treat bleeding on his brain.
A spokeswoman for the president said Monday that he was admitted to Phoebe Sumter Medical Center in Americus, Georgia — a short drive away from his hometown of Plains, where he still lives.
“He is feeling better and looks forward to returning home soon,” the spokeswoman added, saying that The Carter Center, the president’s humanitarian organization with wife Rosalynn Carter, would continue to release updates on his health.
President Carter, the nation’s oldest living ex-president at 95, had just returned home on Wednesday of last week after being hospitalized about two weeks earlier in order to undergo surgery to treat a subdural hematoma from his repeated falls this year.
He was released following his recovery from the surgery — which was meant to relieve pressure on his brain — and was set to spend Thanksgiving at home with Mrs. Carter.
