Qld: Joh to remain in hospital today
Former Queensland Premier Sir JOH BJELKE-PETERSEN may have to wait at least another
day before going home after a health scare which put him in hospital.
Sir JOH, who is 94, was rushed yesterday to the South Burnett Community Private Hospital
near his home at Kingaroy, north-west of Brisbane, after suffering breathing difficulties
brought on by pneumonia.
His wife, Lady FLO, said last night her husband's condition has stabilised but his
return to Bethany, the family property, may not happen until later this week.
She says his temperature is gone and his breathing is back to normal and the doctor
seems quite happy with his progress, and his doctor, ISABELLE JONSSON, will have a better
idea today when he can go home.
Dr JONSSON told National Nine News yesterday Sir JOH has a strong heart and his life
was not in immediate danger yesterday despite his breathing problems.
