George HW Bush to stay through weekend in Houston hospital

None

A spokesman for former President George H.W. Bush says the nation's 41st president will remain in a Houston hospital through the weekend while he recovers from a mild case of pneumonia.

 

Family spokesman Jim McGrath posted Friday on Twitter that doctors will keep the 92-year-old Bush at Houston Methodist Hospital "to ensure a fully clean bill of health."

 

McGrath said Bush "feels terrific," and Bush's vice president, Dan Quayle, talked with him by phone on Friday.
