CHICAGO -- Chicago Bears great Steve McMichael, who is battling ALS, is back home after spending more than a week in the hospital with several ailments, publicist Betsy Shepherd said Friday.
The 66-year-old McMichael, who went public with an ALS diagnosis three years ago, was admitted into intensive care at a suburban hospital on Feb. 15 with a urinary tract infection. He was hospitalized one week after being voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
McMichael was also treated for pneumonia and MRSA -- a staph infection that can be difficult to treat because it is resistant to certain antibiotics -- during his stay, Shepherd said.
