Lady Bird Johnson Released From Hospital

AUSTIN, Texas (CBS) ― Bird Johnson was released from the hospital Thursday. She had been in an Austin hospital for more than a week undergoing tests, reports CBS station KEYE-TV.

The 94-year-old widow of the late President Lyndon Johnson was admitted to Seton Medical Center last week and treated for a low-grade fever. Family spokeswoman Elizabeth Christian says the fever had subsided as of Monday and there are no major changes in her condition Wednesday.

Her family members, including daughters Luci Baines Johnson and Lynda Johnson Robb, have been visiting her.

The former first lady previously suffered a stroke that left her with difficulty speaking. Friends and relatives say she communicates mostly by facial expressions and other means.
