Former President George HW Bush hospitalized in Houston for bronchitis
Former President George HW Bush was in a Houston hospital Thursday for continuing treatment of a lingering cough. Bush, 88, has been in and out of the hospital recently for complications resulting from bronchitis, Methodist Hospital said in a brief statement. The hospital and Bush #39;s spokesman in Houston, Jim McGrath, described Bush as in stable condition and said they expected the former president to be released by the weekend. He #39;s been under hospital care for nearly a week. "If you asked him today, he would tell you he feels good enough to get out this afternoon," McGrath said Thursday. "But the doctors have a different view. He #39;s 88, and they #39;re being extra careful, and understandably so." The former president #39;s illness was described as not life-threatening. "This was never a serious or life-threatening situation," said Dr. Amy Mynderse, an internal medicine specialist in charge of Bush #39;s care. "We simply wanted to prevent the progression of the disease into pneumonia, which is possible in any patient at this age." Bush was treated with antibiotics and steroids, she said in a statement issued by the hospital. Read more: http://www.foxnews.comFrom:Misty De La RosaViews:0 0ratingsTime:02:52More inNews Politics
