ASHEVILLE, N.C. - Evangelist Billy Graham remained in stable condition Saturday after injuring himself in a fall for the second time this year, hospital officials said.
Graham, 85, fell at his home in Montreat on Friday. Preliminary test results indicated a possible hairline pelvis fracture.
The accident was similar to one in early January, when Graham broke his hip in a fall in a hotel room in Jacksonville, Fla., Graham spokesman A. Larry Ross said Friday. Graham had partial hip replacement surgery and was hospitalized until Feb. 2.
Ross said Friday that doctors at Mission Hospitals in Asheville were to run more tests Saturday to determine the extent of Graham's injuries, after which the evangelist would make decisions about any impact on his ministry schedule.
Ross did not return messages seeking comment Saturday.
In the past few years, Graham has been treated for a variety of conditions, including Parkinson's disease and skin cancer.
