The "At Last" singer was sent home Thursday afternoon after spending two weeks in a Los Angeles-area hospital, where she spent the majority of the time breathing with the help of a respirator.

But friend and manager Lupe de Leon said that James' blood pressure stabilized and her breathing improved last week, allowing for her release today.
