DOCTORS UPGRADE MOTHER ANGELICA'S CONDITION

Irondale, AL (EWTN) - Doctors treating Mother Angelica for a stroke in a Birmingham hospital have upgraded her condition from "Serious" to "Fair". Doctors said she continues to show improvement, but she remains in Intensive Care. The doctors also said if Mother continues to improve, they could possibly move her from Intensive Care into a private room later this week. Mother Angelica suffered her second stroke in three months on Christmas Eve. The week before, Mother Angelica had taken a fall, which broke her elbow and arm and sent her to the hospital. The most recent stroke occurred at her Monastery in Hanceville, Alabama a few days after she had returned there from the hospital. Sister Mary Catherine, Mother Vicar of Our Lady of the Angels Monastery, said, "Mother's progress is due totally to the prayers, Rosaries and Mass intentions offered for her recovery from people around the world." "Everyone, please continue praying for her," Mother Vicar said.
