Former New York Gov. Mario Cuomo hospitalized

Former New York Governor Mario Cuomo spent Thanksgiving in a Manhattan hospital to treat a heart condition, state officials confirmed Saturday.

Cuomo, the father of New York's current governor, Andrew Cuomo, served three terms in the state's highest office between 1983 and 1994. His hospitalization was first reported by the New York Daily News.

The paper said Cuomo was last seen in public at his son's Election Night party on Nov. 4 and hospitalized several days later. Gov. Andrew Cuomo also spent Thanksgiving Day at the hospital with his father.

A gubernatorial spokeswoman says the 82-year-old elder Cuomo is in good spirts and is thankful for the best wishes and support he's received. Details of his condition were not immediately available, with the spokeswoman says more updates would be provided 'as appropriate.'
