HOUSTON — The wife of Republican Rep. Ron Paul was in serious but stable condition Monday at a Houston hospital, a spokesman for the congressman said.

Carol Paul was in the critical care unit at an unidentified hospital, spokesman Jesse Benton said in a statement.

Benton would not disclose why Carol Paul was admitted to the hospital Monday, only saying "she has had several abdominal surgeries."

Paul "appreciates the outpouring of concern and good wishes during this difficult time," Benton said.

A Texas congressman from Lake Jackson, Ron Paul was the Libertarian Party nominee for president in 1988 and ran unsuccessfully for the 2008 GOP presidential nomination. His campaign, which was a sensation on the Internet, drew support from Republicans, independents and Democrats.

Update on Carol Paul

I am sure many Campaign for Liberty members saw this AP story overnight.
Carol, or Luvie as she is known to her family and most of Brazoria County, Texas, is fighting hard, and remains in serious but stable condition. She has excellent doctors who are optimistic that another surgery later today (her third in five days) will be successful and start her on the road to recovery. Dr. Paul and a steady rotation of children and grandchildren remain steadfastly by her side.
Please remember Luvie tonight in your prayers.

I wish her well and hope for the best.

Great news on Carol Paul!!


Carol has made a remarkable turnaround. The doctors just removed her breathing tube and she is alert, talking and can NOT wait to get out of bed. Hopefully, she will leave the ICU in a few days and head to more comfortable accomodations to begin her rehabilitation.
Luvie gave us quite a scare, and we all so relieved she is pulling through. All of your kind notes and well-wishes mean the world to her and Dr. Paul.
