I had the news on for a very short time this morning. I only wanted to see the weather report so I would know what to expect today and heard that President Bush Sr. was admitted to the hospital for shortness of breath. Then when I was on my way to my hair appointment I heard his wife, Barbara was also admitted to the hospital.
President Bush is our oldest living president at 92 and his wife is 91.
I also heard President Obama had a statement sending prayers for their health and healing.

I had heard about President Bush getting admitted to the hospital, but I hadn't heard that Barbara had been admitted also. Is she okay? What was the nature of her visit?

@just4him Well, at least they were both able to seek and receive medical care for their ailments. I hope they both make a full recovery!

Yes they are really old now. They already have lots of health issues because of their age

That is sad. I hope they will be okay. They were not the best people in the world, but if they were to go, it should be peacefully.

I just heard about that. I wish them both well. His poor wife is probably frantic with worry and that couldn't have helped her. :(

I'm sure it didn't as she is also in the hospital for bronchitis, I understand.

I heard about that too @just4him . I guess they won't be attending Trump's inauguration.
