President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono`s mother has been discharged from the hospital after five days of treatment for a gall bladder infection.

"Alhamdulillah, she was allowed to leave the hospital on Wednesday afternoon, although the therapy is not yet over," SBY said on Thursday.

The president rearranged meetings and cancelled official appearances in recent days to spend time at his mother's bedside.

Siti Habibah, who is 83, was admitted to Gatot Subroto Hospital on Saturday. She was briefly transferred to Husada Hospital for treatment before returning to Gatot Subroto. Her doctor said her condition was not serious.
