Rev. Jerry Falwell was released from Lynchburg General Hospital this Wednesday morning, 9 days after he was rushed to the hospital by his wife Macel and had to be resuscitated in the parking lot.

The Appomattox County Volunteer Rescue Squad, which by the grace of God happened to be in the hospital parking lot when Macel Falwell Jerry's wife brought her husband to the hospital, they had to get him breathing again.

Doctors initially said Falwell suffered from congestive heart failure, the same thing the pope died of.

The 71-year-old television evangelist and founder of the Moral Majority was in respiratory arrest (that means he stopped breathing) when he was admitted to Lynchburg General Hospital on March 28 and had to be resuscitated.

He was put on a ventilator for the second time this year and listed in critical condition. "It was a close call," Falwell Jr. said.

It was the second time this year that Falwell was hospitalized. He left the hospital March 4 after 13 days, spending part of the time on a ventilator because of what was described as a viral infection.

The hospital released a statement and said the doctors have still not determined precisely what caused his lungs to fill with liquid.

"There are a lot of theories," he said in a phone interview. "A lot of work and time is going into it, but nobody is willing to spout off and say, 'This is what caused it, and we can prevent it from being caused again.'"

Jerry Falwell Jr. said his father had been coughing again prior to his second hospitalization just before midnight March 28. "His symptoms were similar to what they were the previous time," he said.

Though Falwell has no memory of the night, he said he knows it was difficult for his wife.

"Of course it was my wife that drove me alone, unconscious, from the house to the hospital," he said. "And I'm sure she was yelling all the way for help, because I had already passed out by the time I got to The Plaza. She tells me I was already lying down with my head on her shoulder. The Lord took care of me. It's a miracle, and I'm very thankful to be alive."

Falwell may have overdone it after the first hospital stay, his son said. He bounced back to a busy schedule, including a trip to Tennessee to watch the Lady Flames in the Sweet 16 round of the NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament.

Now, he's going to stay home and rest, Falwell Jr. said. He won't be in the pulpit at Thomas Road Baptist Church on Sunday.

"This time, I'm taking it a lot more seriously," the pastor said, "because I've had two altercations with death, and even a dumb guy will learn something after a while."


Hospitalization is 2nd this year
for founder of Moral Majority
LYNCHBURG, Va. - The Rev. Jerry Falwell was hospitalized with breathing difficulties Tuesday and listed in critical condition, Lynchburg General Hospital said in a statement.

Doctors said Falwell was on a ventilator and his condition had stabilized.

Falwell, 71, was back in the hospital a month after battling pneumonia.

Falwell is the founder of the Moral Majority and chancellor of Liberty University, which he also founded. He also heads Thomas Road Baptist Church, located in Lynchburg.

The hospitalization was Falwell’s second this year. He was treated in Lynchburg General Hospital for 13 days in late February and early March while battling pneumonia.

In a recent interview with The Associated Press, Falwell said he was feeling much better, but still recovering from his hospital stay.

An avid sports fan, Falwell made the trip to Chattanooga, Tenn., on Saturday for the third round of the NCAA women’s basketball tournament. Liberty University’s team ended its postseason run in a 90-48 loss to top-seeded Louisiana State. He also had been in the crowd on March 22 when the Liberty women beat DePaul 88-79 in the second round in College Park, Md.

This report will be updated as information becomes available.

Jerry Falwell not out of the woods yet. So they are running more test. Please Pray
LYNCHBURG, Va. Rev. Jerry Falwell is not out of the woods yet. He was entered into the hospital in critical condition on the 28th of March. He was admitted to the hospital because of "respiratory arrest," which means he stopped breathing. officials said. It is a miracle he is alive. His condition was upgraded to fair condition April 1 and his health continued to improve

He is not out of the woods yet. Even though his recovery has been rapid we don't know why he stopped breathing. This is a serious matter and we are running the test to find out why.

A statement was released by Lynchburg General Hospital in Virginia it said doctors "are encouraged by the pace of [Falwell's] recovery."

Ron Godwin an aid to Falwell, told the Associated Press April 4 that Falwell will remain in the hospital so that more tests can be run. "He's well enough to go home right now, but until the doctors finish running all their tests, he'll stay in the hospital," Godwin told the AP.

Falwell could be released by the middle of the week, Godwin said.

Falwell, 71, was admitted to Lynchburg General Hospital late March 28 after having difficulty breathing. He initially was listed in critical condition but was upgraded to serious but stable condition before being listed in fair condition.

Hospital officials say that swelling and fluid in his lungs caused his problem. They found no evidence of a heart attack.

Falwell also was in the hospital for nearly two weeks in late February and early March because of pneumonia. Doctors said Falwell's latest condition seems to be unrelated to the earlier bout with pneumonia.

I heard on the news that he was leaving the hospital, Lord. I pray that You keep him alive for the work he has yet to do. I pray that he is protected by angels and by Your blood. Keep him, Father God, until it is really and truly his time to go. I pray that he will fulfill ALL of the purpose You have for him. Heal him for such a time as this, that he may move on in Your will for his life. Thank You, Lord, for Your grace and mercy to him. When, I think about it, a forerunner to many groups who work to keep morals in the legislation in our land. Bless him for the stand he has taken, and let him be rewarded for the persecution he has endured for that stand. In Jesus Name, amen.
