Bobby Brown Released From Hospital submitted by: Lisa D. source: Associated Press, Electronic Urban Report Date: June 25, 2002 LOS ANGELES (AP) - Bobby Brown was resting at his New Jersey home after being released from the hospital for treatment of an infection, a family spokeswoman said. The 33-year-old singer was traveling through Virginia with his wife, Whitney Houston, in their tour bus when they stopped at Mary Washington Hospital in Fredericksburg last week, said Nancy Seltzer, a Los Angeles publicist. At the time, Brown, formerly of the group New Edition, and Houston were returning home from Atlanta, where Houston was recording an album. Seltzer said Monday that Brown had a fever, but she declined to specify the nature of the infection. Brown, admitted Wednesday, was treated intravenously with an antibiotic and released Friday, Seltzer said. He continued taking oral antibiotics during his recuperation at home, she added. Just as I was about to head into the theatre to see "Love Makes Things Happen" last Tuesday, my cell phone rang; it was a lady who claimed to be at the Mary Washington Hospital in the small Virginia town of Fredericksburg. Skeptical because I couldn’t figure out how she got my phone number, I listened as the lady explained to me that Bobby Brown had just checked into the hospital with wife Whitney Houston by his side. She said Bobby was doubled over, looking as though he was in pain, and nonetheless, other patients were still trying to ask Whitney for autographs. The diva politely told her fans, "I’m not up to seeing guests right now," and continued to tend to her husband. Site design by: Dolphin Webpage Designs © 1996-2002
