Zsa Zsa Gabor hospitalized with infection in LA

Zsa Zsa Gabor remained hospitalized in intensive care as doctors try to stabilize her and clear an infection that developed after her recent leg amputation, her husband said. Gabor was taken Tuesday to Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center after she began spitting up blood, Frederic Prinz von Anhalt said.

Gabor, whose 94th birthday is Sunday, also was running a high fever, von Anhalt said.

"She's still hanging in there," he said late Tuesday. "They (doctors) are still working on her, trying to stabilize her and get her moved out of intensive care into a regular room."

Gabor hasn't recognized anyone since her leg amputation surgery last month, leading doctors to say she probably suffered a stroke, von Anhalt said. He said she was "sort of conscious."

"She doesn't know what is going on. She has no memories. It could come back but the doctor doesn't know yet," van Anhalt said.

Doctors told him the only explanation for her failed memory was that she had a small stroke during the amputation.

A hospital spokesman said because of confidentiality laws, he could not confirm or deny that she was at the hospital or give a condition update.
