92-Year Old George HW Bush Hospitalized

Former President George HW Bush was yesterday readmitted to the hospital with a 'mild case' of pneumonia, his spokesperson said.

Bush, 92, received treatment at Methodist Hospital in Houston but is now said to be doing fine.

'He is already well on the path to recovery and going home,' the spokesperson, Jim McGrath, said.

The statement released by the former president's office read: 'President George HW Bush was admitted to Houston Methodist Hospital on Friday for observation due to a persistent cough that prevented him from getting proper rest.'


'It was subsequently determined he had a mild case of pneumonia, which was treated and has been resolved.'

'President Bush is in very good spirits and is being held for further observation while he regains his strength.'
