Speaker returns sans tuberculosis

Tuberculosis patient Andrew Speaker is back in Georgia after being released from a Colorado hospital. Officials there say he successfully completed inpatient treatment.

Speaker's parents met him in Georgia, and he is now in Hall County, where he has a lake house at Lake Lanier.

Speaker drew national attention last month after he took an international flight while sick with a drug-resistant form of tuberculosis.
