ASHEVILLE, N.C. (AP) ? The Rev. Billy Graham has been diagnosed with pneumonia but remains in good spirits at a North Carolina Hospital. Dr. Mark Hellreich, a pulmonologist treating Graham at Mission Hospitals in Asheville, said Thursday that the 93-year-old evangelist is responding well to antibiotic treatment and is in stable condition.
Graham was visited Thursday by his pastor, the Rev. Don Wilton, who prayed with him and read from St. Paul's letter to the Ephesians.
Graham is alert and talking with hospital workers, and has also been visited by his daughter, Gigi.
In May, Graham spent five days in the hospital during a bout with pneumonia.
Graham rarely appears in public, but recently published his 30th book, in which he reflects on aging and mortality.
