NBC Nightly News is reporting that our dear Mme. Secretary has been released from the hospital! We send along wishes and prayers for her continued recovery.
Hillary Clinton released from hospital
WTHR-TVSecretary of State Hillary Clinton left New York hospital Wednesday after being treated for a blood clot near her brain.
She walked out New York Presbyterian Hospital accompanied by her husband, former President Bill Clinton and daughter Chelsea.
Here are Victoria Nuland’s remarks to the press today.
I know all of you are very interested in the Secretary’s health. Again, we want to thank all of you for your good wishes, for your good thoughts over the holiday period. I just wanted to say at the outset that I don’t have anything new to update you since the statement that we put out from her doctors on December 31st, where we talked about the fact that a blood clot had been discovered, that she is on blood thinners now and the doctors are monitoring her. We will continue to keep you updated as we have new information to share, as we’ve been doing all the way along. I think that was our eighth statement in some three weeks. So please bear with us, and we will continue to pass on all of your good wishes to her.
Finally, here is the definitive confirmation from Philippe Reines.

Press Statement
Philippe Reines, Deputy Assistant Secretary of StateWashington, DCJanuary 2, 2013
Secretary Clinton was discharged from the hospital this evening. Her medical team advised her that she is making good progress on all fronts, and they are confident she will make a full recovery. She’s eager to get back to the office, and we will keep you updated on her schedule as it becomes clearer in the coming days. Both she and her family would like to express their appreciation for the excellent care she received from the doctors, nurses, and staff at New York Presbyterian Hospital Columbia University Medical Center.
I just found this picture and I simply had to add it. After missing her so much, after all the worrying, here it is, what we longed for – that beautiful, bright smile. Godspeed to a full recovery, lovely lady!

I’ve read that too. The scriptwriter seems to have a positive view of Hillary, so this could be an interesting film. If they release it in about two years it could also be helpful for a potential 2016 campaign. Hmmm……

I am very grateful for the care and attention Secretary Clinton received during her recent hospital stay, and that she will get loads of TLC from her husband and daughter now that she is home. She gave the country quite a scare. She’s tough and will be back to her role at the State Dept. very soon.
Best regards from a Michigan fan and admirer, Antoinette.
