CHICAGO -- Chicago Bears great Steve McMichael is spending at least another night in the hospital after his family hoped he would return home on Thursday, publicist Betsy Shepherd said.
The 66-year-old McMichael, who went public with an ALS diagnosis three years ago, was admitted into intensive care at a suburban hospital last Thursday with a urinary tract infection. He was hospitalized one week after being voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
The family announced Saturday he had developed MRSA, a staph infection that can be difficult to treat because it is resistant to certain antibiotics, and was undergoing a blood transfusion.
