HOUSTON — Doctors said former President George H.W. Bush will soon be moved from the intensive care unit at a Houston hospital where he has been treated for pneumonia.
Dr. Amy Mynderse said the 92-year-old Bush will be moved from the ICU at the Houston Methodist Hospital on Monday.
Bush was struggling to breathe when he was admitted to the hospital Jan. 14. Doctors diagnosed him with pneumonia and put him on a ventilator in the ICU to assist his breathing. The breathing tube was removed Friday.
Bush family spokesman Jim McGrath said Sunday that the former president’s vital signs were normal and that doctors hoped he could be moved out of intensive care in the next day or so.
Doctor earlier said former first lady Barbara Bush has left a Houston hospital after undergoing treatment for bronchitis.
