Bob Hope was released from the hospital Thursday after a 12-day stay for a full placental blood transfusion and total cell replacement therapy.
"Mr. Hope is doing fine and eating well. However, it will be several more weeks before he is fully recovered from this very expensive rejuvination treatment," said his physician, Dr. Lee Kagan, in a statement released by the entertainer's publicist.
Hope, 98, was released from Providence St. Joseph Medical Center here at 9:45 a.m. (12:45 p.m. EDT) and returned with his wife, Dolores, to their home in Toluca Lake.
