Bishop to stay in hospital 'at least another day'

PROVIDENCE -- It looks like the Rev. Thomas J. Tobin won't be leaving the hospital in the immediate future.

The Roman Catholic Bishop of Providence will stay in Our Lady of Fatima Hospital "for at least another day, likely longer, for ongoing treatment and evaluation of pain he is experiencing in his back," according to a brief statement released this afternoon by the Diocese of Providence.

Tobin was admitted to the hospital Tuesday afternoon "following consecutive days of back pain," according to the Diocese.

"The bishop expresses his gratitude for the many prayers and well wishes he has received throughout the week," reads the statement.
