HOUSTON — Former first lady Barbara Bush was “doing great and responding well” on Thursday while undergoing treatment at a Houston hospital for a respiratory-related issue, a family spokesman said.
The wife of former President George H.W. Bush has been hospitalized since Monday at Methodist Hospital in Houston. There was no timetable for her release, but “we’re hopeful that will take place sooner rather than later,” family spokesman Jim McGrath said.
McGrath said physicians merely may be exercising extra caution by keeping her at the hospital.
