Zsa Zsa GaborRon Galella/GettyZsa Zsa Gabor went home Saturday afternoon after having been rushed to the emergency room at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center Friday afternoon for an infection in her leg. Her husband, Frederic von Anhalt, told PEOPLE on Saturday morning that she was being treated with antibiotics.
Since summer, the celebrated socialite, 93, has suffered a series of health issues. On July 18, she was also rushed the medical center after falling out of bed and breaking several bones, including her right hip. Within five days she fell into critical condition and was not responding to those around her, although by Aug. 11 Gabor grew stronger and was sent home.
Two days later, however, she was taken back to the hospital due to complications from the hip-replacement, and on Aug. 15 Gabor requested last rites from a Catholic priest.
When she subsequently refused a liver operation, it was decided she would spend her final days at home – though on Aug. 31, said to be in pain and unconscious, she was again rushed back to the hospital – and again returned home a few days later.
"She's taking a lot of medicine right now," von Anhalt told the Los Angeles Times. He added that she also has a blood infection.
