Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, 84, was rushed to the hospital on Friday while on a foreign trip.
Pelosi was in Luxembourg with a bipartisan congressional delegation to mark the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge.
'Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi sustained an injury during an official engagement and was admitted to the hospital for evaluation,' her spokesperson Ian Krager said in a statement.
Krager said she is receiving 'excellent treatment' from doctors and medical professionals.
As a result of the injury, she will be canceling the rest of her engagements on the congressional delegation trip.
A source told DailyMail.com that she fell down some stairs during the visit, but her injuries are not serious.
The visit to Luxembourg, hosted by Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., was announced to commemorate the deadly battle with a bipartisan group of nearly 20 lawmakers.
'Speaker Emerita Pelosi conveys her thanks and praise to our veterans and gratitude to people of Luxembourg and Bastogne for their service in World War II and their role in bringing peace to Europe,' Krager went on.
'Speaker Emerita Pelosi was personally and officially honored to travel with the distinguished delegation, many of whom had family members who fought in World War II — including her uncle, Johnny. She looks forward to returning home to the U.S. soon.'
She was seen in a photo gripping the hand of Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, during a meeting with the Grand Duke earlier Friday.

Her chin split and her face snapped up like an out of control window shade.
Fell up the stairs coming out of the wine cellar???
LOL!
Die Witch.
And put us out of your misery.
Stepped on a landmine maybe?
LOL!!!!
Guess she won’t be competing at the drinking Olympics when they are held in Ireland...
One old bitch that won’t be missed.!
This falling thing is getting contagious. First McConnell, now Pelosi. Schumer better watch his step.
Don't count her out. A few years ago she came in 1st, 4th and 6th place.
maybe she was using Harry Reid’s old exercise equipment. LOL.
My uncle fought bravely in the Battle of the Bulge and was field promoted to Sergeant when his was killed in action there.
He was also KIA after crossing the Rhine into Germany.
Pelosi is like vomit in the 80th anniversary remembrance. Glad she'll be in pain with a broken hip instead of attending the ceremony.
Well, she’s in Luxembourg, so it’s courtesy of the Luxemborgians.
Patton is buried in Luxembourg.
She sure is a vain old hag, isn’t she?
Dizzy, needed a hand to stay standing up?
she fell down marble stairs as per NY Times. That is a really hard surface. It would be easy to break her hip or other body parts at her age
It must be nice to be ultra wealthy and a member of Congress where you can get medical care quickly. The rest of us peons can’t find a doctor who will take us and so sit in ER for hours.
