BERNIE MAC 'RESPONDING WELL TO TREATMENT': Rep says comedian hopes to leave hospital in the next few weeks.

(August 8, 2008)

*Bernie Mac, hospitalized recently for pneumonia, is reportedly on the mend and looking to be discharged in the next few weeks, his rep said Thursday.

A statement from his publicist, Danica Smith, said the 50-year-old comic is "responding well to treatment" and remained in "stable condition" in a Chicago-area hospital.

She said last week that Mac's bout with pneumonia was unrelated to his previous diagnosis of a chronic tissue inflammation, called sarcoidosis, which has been in remission since 2005.
