Mark Kriski back in hospital

KTLA's Mark Kriski has been off the air for some time for treatment of what the station calls viral pneumonia. He went home from the hospital for Thanksgiving, after 3½ weeks, but tonight his girlfriend and colleague Jennifer Gould posted on Twitter that Kriski has been forced back into the hospital.

Kriski had apparently been hoping to get back to work in a couple of weeks, but with the setback it isn't likely now until after the first of the year.
