Former President George H.W. Bush was hospitalized at Methodist Hospital in Houston over the weekend for shortness of breath, his spokesman said Wednesday.
Jim McGrath said the 41st president – who is 92 years old – is responding well to treatments.
“Doctors and everyone are very pleased, and we hope to have him out soon,” he added.
Bush’s chief of staff, Jean Becker, told KHOU-TV that the former president is expected to go home in a couple of days.
Bush, who served as U.S. president from 1989 to 1993, has a form of Parkinson’s disease and uses a motorized scooter or a wheelchair for mobility. At 92 years old, he is the oldest living former president.
