Evangelist Billy Graham hospitalized for bleeding

? Evangelist Billy Graham was in fair condition Saturday and resting comfortably in a hospital near his home after he was admitted for evaluation and treatment of an intestinal bleed, hospital officials said.

Graham, 88, was fully alert, and his doctors don’t think his condition is life-threatening, said his spokesman, Larry Ross.

Graham’s blood pressure was good and there were no signs of new bleeding Saturday night, according to a statement released by Mission Health & Hospitals in Asheville.

The hospital said in a statement that Graham’s condition had stabilized following his admission, and an initial endoscopy and a bleeding scan found no areas of bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract.
