After a shaky start to the new year, entertainer Nick Cannon is in “good spirits” according to his diva wife [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Mariah Carey[/lastfm] after a brief stint in the hospital for mild kidney failure.

Nick was transferred to an L.A. hospital after spending a few days in treatment in Aspen for kidney trouble, but has now been released from the hospital and has returned home to rest.

According to Cannon’s publicist Tracy Nguyen (WIHN), Nick is now “resting and recovering at home” and thanks everyone who was concerned about him.

His wife Mariah has been at his side for support the whole time during his recovery, and continues to give fans updates about his condition on her Twitter page.

Earlier this week, Mariah tweeted that “Nick is in stable condition with a good prognosis, hopefully he’ll be discharged within 2 days. As always he’s laughing and in good spirits.”

We’re happy to see the entertainer feeling better, and Nick is expected to get back to work on his morning radio show “Rollin’ with Nick Cannon,” on Jan. 17!
