Evangelist Billy Graham was admitted to Mission Hospitals in Asheville, N.C., for evaluation and treatment of injuries from a fall he suffered on Friday. Rev. Graham had been home recovering from a partial hip replacement performed Jan. 6 at Mayo Clinic's St. Luke's Hospital in Jacksonville, Fla.

His orthopedic surgeon stated that he was in stable condition and that preliminary tests indicated a possible hairline fracture to the pelvis. Further tests will be performed to assess the extent of his injuries, guide the treatment plan and determine the time needed for full recovery.

Rev. Graham said he is resting comfortably, and expressed gratitude for prayers on his behalf.
