RIYADH - Chest X-rays taken on Sunday showed that King Fahd is recovering from the pneumonia for which he was hospitalized, a medical official said.
The king's condition was "stable and improving" and his temperature is back to normal but he remains in intensive care, said the official at the King Faisal Specialist Hospital in Riyadh. He spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation. Asked when the king would be released, the official said, "That is for his doctors to decide."
Fahd was admitted to the hospital on Friday for unspecified medical tests. Saudi newspapers quoted a statement issued Saturday by the royal court that said medical tests had shown Fahd's condition was "stable and reassuring." |
