Steve Gleason Returns Home After Hospitalization

Steve Gleason, the former New Orleans Saints safety and ALS advocate, has returned home after spending six days in the hospital due to a spike in fever and low blood pressure. His hospitalization coincided with Hurricane Francine, which complicated emergency services' ability to reach him, but he was safely transported to Ochsner Medical Center. Gleason shared a heartfelt update on social media, expressing his feelings of being 'reborn' upon returning to his family, accompanied by photos of their reunion. Gleason, who played a pivotal role in the Saints' history, is also known for his advocacy work through Team Gleason, supporting others affected by ALS. He was recognized with the Arthur Ashe Courage Award earlier this year and recently published a memoir. His health scare has raised awareness about the challenges faced by ALS patients, especially during emergencies.
