SANTA MONICA, Calif. (AP) — Nancy Reagan's spokeswoman says the former first lady has been hospitalized after falling in her home in Bel-Air.
Spokeswoman Joanne Drake says the 87-year-old Reagan was taken to St. John's Health Center in Santa Monica for examination Sunday. Doctors determined she did not break a hip as feared.
May God bless her, I pray she is okay. She just looks so petite, so frail.
She is okayy folks according to KCBS 2 news
Prayers for a very special lady.
Prayers that she’s OK.
Prayers for Nancy and family.
Hang in there, Gipperette!
Prayers up and away.
Prayers from KY for Mrs. Reagan.
My Mom fell several years ago and broke her wrist trying to prevent a hip break. Her Mom had broken her hip years ago and that’s a common but very difficult wound to recover from at that age. Hell, ANY age!
All the best, Mrs Reagan.
87? My goodness.
Sending thoughts and prayers on her behalf. She was an amazing and loyal wife to President Reagan and I hope she gets well soon.
Prayers out for that lovely First Lady, Nancy.
Prayers......
Prayers for the first lady

prayers for Mrs. Reagan
Just about all of my liberal friends, who used to talk bad about all Republicans, have done a 180 degree turn on Ronald Reagan and they now consider him a hero and some speak in glowing terms about him.
Most of the people I'm talking about here are still liberals, but they honor the "Gipper" and realize what he did.
As to why they are still liberals....go figure.
Prayers for swift recovery for a great American and Great American First Lady.
That is a beautiful picture of the two of them. I remember her in a movie called “The Next Voice You Hear.” James Whitmore was her co-star. In the movie, she & James Whitmore were married, and their names were Mary and Joseph, and she was expecting a child. A voice kept coming on the radio throughout the world, and it was the voice of God. You never hear the actual voice in the movie, but it was an interesting movie. I never see it on TV anymore.
Poor lady. Nancy was standing up when she read about John McCain’s policies on immigration, taxes, and global warming. The next time she falls Obama will be President, and she’ll have to wait in line for three days like the rest of us.
Whitmore is actually still alive!
God Speed Nancy, God Speed!
Prayers up for her....I’m so glad she didn’t break a hip.
I’m glad she’s alright, but I wonder if it was a Tia.
Man, I’d like to hear what she has to say about Obama. Be great if she’d speak out about these candidates.
That is a beautiful pic of the couple.
Prayers up for Nancy! Be well, First Lady.
Best wishes to Nancy.
Prayers going out to the surviving half of the greatest duo of the twentieth century.
Bless her heart. I saw her make an appearance just last week and she was still looking good. I’m always amazed at her vitality.
Prayers up for Nancy!
You’re kidding! I didn’t know that. I have invoked his name many times when his son is on camera, acting as spokesperson for something the LA County Sheriff’s Dept is doing (Paris Hilton, Mel, etc., lol.)
Didn’t know who he was the first time, but thought he looked exactly like James Whitmore - then found out that was his last name and looked it up - it’s his son, Steve.
Prayers up!
They are still liberals because for one thing, it’s considered anti-intellectual to be a conservative in many liberal crowds. Some are under forty and have not lived to vote for a liberal such as Carter and watched in horror as he and his administration took the country into a liberal malaise of grand proportions while blaming US who had voted for him. Under forty, if liberals, they have such naive hearts and have not yet told themselves the truth about their beloved Clintons; over forty, if still liberals, you may rest assured they have no brains.
God Bless our beloved Nancy.
Prayers for a swift recovery for Mrs. Reagan.
Prayers
excellent mr. churchill. but, the age is 30.
Odds are that she won’t see this, but we all love you Mrs Reagan. Ron and Nancy. The great American love story.
I remember seeing her during the Republican Debate at the Ronald Reagan Library. There are no words for the affection I have for her.
My prayers are for her recovery.
Prayers for Nancy’s speedy recovery!
President and Mrs. Reagan at Rancho Del Cielo. 8/17/83.
Blessings to Nancy who epitomizes the word "Lady" in "First Lady."
Starbucks is in fread-out mode but that happened before the media hoopla about the economy failing. Dunkin Donuts and McDonald’s got serious about good (cheaper) coffee and the rest is history.
