I learned earlier that former POTUS George H.W. Bush had been hospitalized and now learn that he wife Barbara has been hospitalized as a precaution after experiencing fatigue and coughing.
Prayers for wisdom for the medical team and comfort for their family including sons George, Jeb, daughter-in-laws and grandchildren.

Ex-President George H.W. Bush Moved To Intensive Care; Wife Hospitalized

(Reuters) – Former U.S. President George H.W. Bush has been moved to an intensive-care unit at a Houston hospital with pneumonia and was stable and resting comfortably after doctors performed a procedure to clear his airway, his office said on Wednesday.
His wife of 72 years, former first lady Barbara Bush, also was admitted to the same hospital on Wednesday as a precaution after experiencing fatigue and coughing, the office said in a statement.
Bush, who at 92 is the nation’s oldest living ex-president, has been at Houston Methodist Hospital since Saturday after experiencing shortness of breath, family spokesman Jim McGrath said on Wednesday.
Since then, Bush experienced an “acute respiratory problem stemming from pneumonia” and was sedated for the unspecified procedure, his office said.
He will remain in the hospital’s intensive-care unit for observation, his office said.
Bush and the 91-year-old former first lady marked their 72nd anniversary on Jan. 6.
Bush is the father of former President George W. Bush and former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, who sought the 2016 Republican presidential nomination.
The eldest Bush, a Republican like his sons, was vice president during Ronald Reagan’s two White House terms before being elected president in 1988. He lost his re-election bid to Bill Clinton, then the Democratic governor of Arkansas, in 1992.
A naval pilot during World War Two, Bush became an occasional skydiver after leaving the presidency and marked his 90th birthday by parachuting from a helicopter with jump partner.
He has used a wheelchair in recent years and was hospitalized twice in 2014, once for seven weeks with pneumonia and again for breathing difficulties. In July 2015, he broke a bone in his neck in a fall at the family home in Maine.
Bush and his wife were already planning to miss President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration on Friday due to health reasons.
“My doctor says if I sit outside in January, it likely will put me six feet under,” Bush wrote to Trump on Jan. 10, according to a copy of the letter released on Wednesday. “Same for Barbara. So I guess we’re stuck in Texas.”
Trump had been critical of George W. and Jeb during the 2016 presidential campaign and their father did not endorse Trump in his race against Democrat Hillary Clinton.
But in his letter, Bush said he and his wife would be with Trump in spirit at the inauguration and wished him “the very best as you begin this incredible journey of leading our great country.”
Republican Senator John McCain and the Carter Center, founded by former President Jimmy Carter, posted tweets wishing Bush a quick recovery.
In December Bush marked the 75th commemoration of Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor by attending a ceremony at his library at Texas A&M University."

He's a former President not sn ex.. President Bush's exit was an honorable one. The media does it with the Military also.. he did not leave under a cloud like Clinton. Nixon kind of did but resigned time to not be indicted..

note 12-6-2018: I looked up OANN.com and they gave a contact point and I contacted them and asked them to respect the President’s office and not use the ‘X’. If said person exited that office honorably.

Some might day it’s awful petty when calling out a faux pas and one is wasting the media’s valuable time
Making them correct s’thing so trivial.. they got more important issues to take care of..
It’s like this: if they did the job right we wouldn’t have to set them straight !..

He's been dealing with health issues for some time now. From having to use a motorized wheel chair to get around to everything else, I hope that him and his wife are able to come back from this but sadly, I think we are nearing the end of a great pair of people that did a lot for this country.
