Former President George H.W. Bush has been admitted to hospital again. This is the second time he’s needed medical care since his wife, Barbara Bush, passed away last month.

His spokesperson, Jim McGrath, tweeted the news about his admittance on May 27, 2018. The former President was said to be struggling with fatigue among other issues.

The former President's spokesperson, Jim McGrath, informed the public via Twitter that Bush was expected to stay at the hospital for a few days. He added that ‘The former president is awake and alert, and not in any discomfort.’

This is the second time that Bush has been to the hospital after recently losing his wife of 73 years, Barbara Bush. The former First Lady was 92 when she passed away on April 17.

The first time that Bush was hospitalized was on April 22. At the time, McGrath had shared that the former President was admitted to the Houston Methodist Hospital.
