George H.W. Bush's health condition is revealed after a recent emergency hospitalization
Barbara Bush was buried this past weekend with her husband, George H. W. Bush, in attendance. Now the former President has been admitted to hospital with an infection.
TMZ reported that he was admitted on April 22, 2018, a day after his wife’s funeral. Many people were concerned about his health after his wife died and their fears appear to have come true.
George H.W. Bush, 93, was hospitalized in an intensive care unit on Sunday in Houston. This was after he buried his wife of 73 years.
Bush contracted an infection that spread to his blood and led to sepsis, which could be life-threatening. His spokesman, Jim McGrath, shared that Bush was recovering after receiving treatment.
‘We will issue additional updates as events warrant,’ he stated. The former President has suffered a number of health complications in the past few years, including vascular Parkinsonism and pneumonia.
CNN’s source shared that Bush was in critical condition at the time he was admitted. There were also some serious concerns about his well-being after his blood pressure dropped multiple times.
His wife passed away at the age of 92 on April 17, 2018. This was after she had announced, days prior, that she would not be seeking further treatment for her failing health.
‘President Bush was admitted to the Houston Methodist Hospital yesterday morning after contracting an infection that spread to his blood. He is responding to treatments and appears to be recovering.’
