FORMER United States President Jimmy Carter landed in Washington on Thursday after spending two nights in an Ohio hospital, where doctors said a viral infection likely gave him stomach problems.
Carter landed in a private jet at Reagan National Airport. He walked down from the plane and stepped into an SUV that immediately drove away. An airport police car escorted his SUV and two others from the airport.
Doctors advised Carter, who turned 86 yesterday, to remain at MetroHealth Medical Center after he was rushed from an airplane to the emergency room on Tuesday morning with an upset stomach.
He headed to the US capital after hospital officials said the viral infection had cleared up. Carter was in Washington for a long-planned, private meeting, a spokeswoman said.
Carter became ill during a flight from Atlanta to Cleveland, causing rescue crews to rush him to the hospital after the plane landed. His medical team recommended he stay a second night for additional monitoring, a hospital spokeswoman said.
The hospital stay has interrupted Carter's tour to promote his new book, "White House Diary." Carter canceled signings in Ohio, North Carolina, South Carolina and Washington.
Carter, a former peanut farmer elected to the White House in 1976, has worked in recent years as an advocate for peace, efforts that won him the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002.
