Former President Jimmy Carter was released from a Georgia hospital on Wednesday after spending more than two weeks recovering from surgery to relieve pressure on his brain caused by bleeding from recent falls.
“He and Mrs. Carter look forward to enjoying Thanksgiving at home in Plains, where he will continue to recover,” the Carter Center said in a statement.
The statement said the Carters were grateful for supportive prayers, notes and cards they had received during his stay at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta.
The Carter Center announced on Nov. 11 that the former president underwent surgery and experienced “no complications.”
