ATLANTA — Civil Rights icon the Rev. Joseph Lowery remains in stable condition at Emory University Hospital Midtown as he continues improving from a pulmonary embolism.
Hospital spokesman Lance Skelly said Saturday that there's no "time table" for Lowery to be discharged from Emory Midtown.
Skelly tell the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that doctors are reviewing Lowery's condition "day to day" in deciding when he should be allowed to go home.
Lowery, who stood with the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. during the civil rights movement, was admitted to the hospital a week ago with a blood clot in his lung.
The 88-year-old offered the benediction at President Barack Obama's inauguration last year and received the Presidential Medal of Freedom several months later.
Lowery co-founded the Southern Christian Leadership Conference along with King.
