Former President George H.W. Bush and wife hospitalized

HOUSTON (AP) — Former President George H.W. Bush and his wife, Barbara, remain hospitalized in Houston, where he was in intensive care for pneumonia and she was being watched after complaining of fatigue and coughing. The 92-year-old former president went into the ICU on Wednesday and underwent a procedure "to protect and clear his airway that required sedation," family spokesman Jim McGrath said in a statement. The 41st president was placed in the ICU to address "an acute respiratory problem stemming from pneumonia," McGrath said. After World War II, the pair moved to the Texas oil patch to seek their fortune and raise a family. Last summer, Bush led a group of 40 wounded warriors on a fishing trip at the helm of his speedboat, three days after his 92nd birthday celebration. Bush's office announced earlier this month that the couple would not attend Donald Trump's inauguration because of the former president's age and health.
