MEXICO CITY: Colombia's Nobel-winning writer Gabriel Garcia Marquez, the 87-year-old author of "One Hundred Years of Solitude," was being treated in a Mexico City hospital on Thursday for a bronchial infection, his son said.

Gonzalo Garcia Barcha said his father was doing "very well and progressing very well" since being taken to the capital's National Medical Science and Nutrition Institute in the south of the capital on Monday.

"He had a small infection a few days ago and we preferred to take him to the hospital because he is older," Garcia Barcha told reporters.

"It was never an emergency," he said, adding that his father was conscious and treated with antibiotics.
The author, who made Mexico City his home more than three decades ago, could be released from the hospital early next week.

I hope they're able to buy him some more good time at home.
