Drudge has this, and it sounds like it wasn’t as serious, and he’ll be held overnight. Maybe just has to be stabilized or fluids inserted or removed.

OMG that’s hilarious.
I’m surprised that no suggestion has been made for “Prayers Up”.
Permit me to suggest that Professor Hawking is deserving of that.
Abused by his wife?
Sooner or later, we all get our answers to the “God question.”
I will. :-)
Prayers up...
Some of use said a short prayer on seeing the news. I understand Mr. Hawking isn’t a believer, so he needs prayers even more.
I prayed for Katherine Hepburn for years. I figured God was keeping her alive for a reason.
I was going to make a snarky comment, then I saw yours.
You inspired me. Prayers for Mr. Hawking’s recovery and blessing from me, too.
Yep; we do. It's absolutely inevitable, unavoidable. :^)
I'm lifting prayers for Stephen Hawking....
Thanks so much for the ping, xzins!
Quick, clone his brain.
" Homer, Your theory of a doughnut-shaped universe is intriguing... I may have to steal it." ...
I pray Mr. Hawking finds salvation before he meets his maker.
Agreed.
