MONTREAT, N.C. — Evangelist Billy Graham returned home to Monteat on Thursday following a two-day stay at a hospital in Asheville.

Graham, who celebrated his 95th birthday earlier this month, was admitted for tests and observation after experiencing respiratory congestion.

“Mr. Graham was alert and in good spirits during his stay,” Dr. William R. Hathaway, chief medical officer at Mission Hospital in Asheville, said in a statement. “We are pleased with the results of Mr. Graham’s evaluation.”
