LONDON - The family of physicist Stephen Hawking expects him to recover fully from a chest infection that has left him hospitalized, Cambridge University said Tuesday.

Hawking "was being kept in observation" at Addenbrooke's hospital after being admitted Monday.

"He is comfortable and his family is looking forward to him making a full recovery," Cambridge said in a statement.

6. I was concerned

when I read that he was seriously ill and in hospital. I'm glad they have been able to help him. I would think with ALS the healing process might be slowed. Does anyone here know if ALS merely effects muscles and neuro transmitters, or does it mess with the immune system as well?
