HARTFORD, Conn. — Hartford Mayor Luke Bronin returned home Sunday, a week after he entered the hospital due to a flare-up of colitis, a condition he's suffered with for over decade.

On Thursday he announced that he had checked into the hospital on his doctor's recommendation and ended up staying longer than expected. Staff said he was admitted last Sunday evening.

Bronin tweeted out a video of himself sitting on a couch with his dog, saying that he was "resting up and feeling much better and I wanted to say a huge thank you for so many kind words and good wishes. I'm really grateful." 

Bronin was sporting a new beard from his hospital stay, but said "It's not sticking around long."
