Menino Staying in Hospital for Thanksgiving
The Boston mayor has been in the Brigham & Women's Hospital since Oct. 26 with various ailments.
Boston Mayor Thomas Menino will remain in the hospital for Thanksgiving, with no set date for when he will be released.
Dot Joyce, the city's media communications director, told the Boston Herald there is "no word" on when Menino will be discharged from Brigham and Women's Hospital.
Menino was first admitted to the hospital on Oct. 26 because of a viral infection, which he fought off, but then a blood clot was found in his leg while he was staying at the hospital.
