Rudy Giuliani Watch: On His Way Home After Missouri Hospital Stay

Rudy Giuliani leaves Barnes-Jewish Hospital Thursday, Dec. 20, 2007, in St. Louis, Mo. The Republican presidential hopeful, who spent the night in the St. Louis hospital with flu-like symptoms, left with a clean bill of health according to his campaign.

Rudy is on his way home and will resume campaign events in New Hampshire tomorrow.

Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani was released from a St. Louis hospital Thursday after undergoing tests for flu-like symptoms and spending the night.

“I feel great. Take care. Merry Christmas, I’m feeling fine thanks to the hospital. They did a good job,” Giuliani said as he left Barnes- Jewish Hospital en route to returning to New York.

The former New York mayor felt the symptoms while campaigning for the nomination in Missouri, and they soon became worse, campaign spokeswoman Katie Levinson said late Wednesday. She did not describe the symptoms beyond those being commonly associated with the flu.

In a statement Thursday, the campaign said doctors had performed a series of precautionary tests and the results were normal.

Giuliani’s wife, Judith, told reporters in New York about the circumstances surrounding his surprise stay in the hospital.
“A decision was made last night when he had a severe headache and flu- like symptoms on his way home from Missouri to land the plane. EMS then performed a small evaluation and decided that for precautionary measures they would take him to Barnes-Jewish Hospital,” she said.

Judith Giuliani said he would have a follow-up visit with his physician.

Giuliani’s Thursday schedule was already clear of public appearances before the unexpected stop in St. Louis.

Mayor Giuliani will be in New Hampshire over the weekend, take two days off for Christmas Eve and Christmas and be back in Florida for three days on the 26th.
