Until that happened the First Lady -- former First Lady back in March but officials at the Reagan presidential library just revealed it during an event there last night.

She's tuning and to our live broadcast from home tonight on doctor's orders.

She's fine but I still nursing some broken ribs from a fall that several -- you heard about weeks ago.

Reagan is ninety years old America's oldest living First Lady.

And she's long proved herself to be a survivor while her husband a President Reagan was in office the First Lady had surgery for breast cancer.

She broke a rib during a fall in 1999.

She broke her pelvis during another fall in 2008.

Adam -- with the news he's in our West Coast news of this afternoon what why -- we hear about -- six weeks ago do we know.

Yeah also -- to tell -- because he's had no public appearances and -- wasn't life threatening to felt that she would just recover because she's a normal citizen now that's what they call or even though she of course she is the former First Lady.

And very beloved across the country the idea what she was still attending events that -- there -- no reason to alarm people although the word was out there it is didn't do a press release.

That's what may -- didn't get out in the press as much as you might expect it would have.

Of course when she didn't show last night they made an announcement everything changed this morning shepherd and a slowdown of the schedule now it gets to be in order.

Yeah just for a couple weeks always -- that she's still going to which has some events upcoming -- we see here a couple of times a year out here in Los Angeles he doesn't travel much.

But she does go to several events throughout the year here and -- -- -- our home whether it be the Reagan library or a couple other locations and they say that.

There are some -- -- she will go to and it just needs a little more time for those -- -- shepherd.

Will wait for that Adam Housley in Los Angeles Adam thanks.
