FORMER US President Jimmy Carter is in "good spirits" a day after being rushed to a hospital in Ohio with an upset stomach but will remain under observation a second night, the hospital said yesterday.
"Former President Jimmy Carter is continuing to recover from the stomach distress that was reported earlier," MetroHealth Medical Center in Cleveland, Ohio said in a joint statement with the Atlanta-based Carter Center.
Carter's doctors have "determined that the likely cause was a viral infection that is now clearing up," it added.
Earlier, his medical team said Carter was "in very good spirits," appreciated all the good wishes being sent his way and "looks forward to getting back to his busy schedule."
Carter, who turns 86 tomorrow, developed an upset stomach during a flight to Cleveland where he was scheduled to attend a book signing for his new book, "White House Diary." He was taken to the hospital from the airport by ambulance.
Carter has been active in international diplomacy since serving as president from 1977 to 1981, particularly in intervening on behalf of Americans detained abroad and as an observer of foreign elections. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002.
The Carter Center works to promote peace, human rights and global health.
