Hosemann’s staff later reported the Lt. Governor was said to be “doing well and in good spirits and was eager to return to work.”

Hosemann late Wednesday explained more on what happened to him.

Thank you all for the kind words and prayers. I was dehydrated and am feeling fine now. I am grateful for Mississippi’s phenomenal medical professionals and am ready to go back to work tomorrow. Lesson learned: Stay hydrated.
