Senator Robert Byrd’s (D-WV) “office says he’s been released from the hospital and is at his Washington-area home recuperating from a more-than monthlong illness,” the AP reports.
The 91-year-old Democrat, who is the longest-serving senator, is continuing physical therapy as he recovers from a staph infection he contracted while hospitalized for another infection.
Aides released scant details during his hospitalization, declining even to say where he received treatment.
Byrd says he’s looking forward to celebrating the nation’s birthday with his family.
