Condition of former President George H. W. Bush improving
NEW YORK, Dec 9 (Reuters) - Former President George H. W. Bush remains under hospital care in Houston several weeks after being admitted for treatment of bronchitis, but his condition appears to be improving, his spokesman said on Sunday.
"The three-week battle with bronchitis took a little bit of wind out of his sails," family spokesman Jim McGrath said of Bush, who is 88 years old.
McGrath said Bush's cough is "greatly, greatly reduced," and doctors are focused on restoring his energy level.
Bush was admitted to the hospital on Nov. 23 for complications related to bronchitis. The Houston Chronicle reported in February that Bush had been diagnosed with lower body parkinsonism, which causes a loss of balance, and that he often uses a wheelchair.
...
I remember his 'sky dive.' He was always such an active man. Much loved by his family. My prayers are with them.
