The Sao Jose hospital said in a written statement that Roberta McCain was in stable condition and was undergoing tests after being admitted Thursday evening. It provided no further information.
Senator McCain's office in Washington said Roberta McCain "had a fainting episode and injured her head" while on vacation in the Portuguese capital.

I wish her the best.
Her family has a long tradition of service to our country.
Wow, how many 97 year old people could even manage an overseas trip!
Prayer bump
Best wishes from here for Mother McCain. I only hope I’m that active at her age.
It’s too bad the media didn’t tell us when John fell and hit his head, but I guess that’s fodder for another article.
Ditto
And sadly an almost thirty year tradition of things not so helpful for our country.
Prayers up for the extended McCain family, especially Jimmy and Jack, now in service to our country.
Give it 2 weeks, then McCain will be singing the praises of government health care. Then he and Geaham wil hold hands and skip across the aisle.

I love McCain’s Mom. She would have ran a better campaign than the dottering old fool son. Every time I’ve seen Mother McCain, she strikes me as one sharp cookie.
A fabulous woman.
Prayers for Mrs. McCain’s health.
