As American Faith reported, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) was hospitalized in Luxembourg. Updated reports explain the former House Speaker fell down the stairs and broke her hip.
According to The New York Times, Pelosi fractured her hip. Sources familiar with the development explained that “doctors were confident the damage could be repaired with a routine operation, but it was not yet clear whether that would be done in Luxembourg or the United States.”
A picture released by the U.S. Embassy in Luxembourg shows Pelosi tightly holding the hand of House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul (R-TX).
When news first broke of her fall, Pelosi’s office said in a statement:
“While traveling with a bipartisan Congressional delegation in Luxembourg to mark the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge, Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi sustained an injury during an official engagement and was admitted to the hospital for evaluation,” her office said.
“Speaker Emerita Pelosi is currently receiving excellent treatment from doctors and medical professionals. She continues to work and regrets that she is unable to attend the remainder of the CODEL engagements to honor the courage of our servicemembers during one of the greatest acts of American heroism in our nation’s history. Speaker Emerita Pelosi conveys her thanks and praise to our veterans and gratitude to people of Luxembourg and Bastogne for their service in World War Il and their role in bringing peace to Europe,” the statement said.
“Speaker Emerita Pelosi was personally and officially honored to travel with the distinguished delegation, many of whom had family members who fought in World War II – including her uncle, Johnny. She looks forward to returning home to the U.S. soon,” her office added.
