George H.W. Bush Hospitalized in Maine For Low Blood Pressure and Fatigue

A spokesman for the Bush family confirmed that former President George H.W. Bush was admitted Sunday to a hospital in Maine for low blood pressure and fatigue.

Spokesman Jim McGrath said the 93-year-old Bush would likely stay at Southern Maine Health Care hospital for a few more days for further observation.

McGrath said in a tweet Sunday: “The former president is awake and alert, and not in any discomfort.”

Just a little over a week ago, The Goldwater reported that the former president was recovering well and was healthy enough to be back on his boat, as well as spend time with family and friends.

McGrath even tweeted then that: “41 is doing pretty darn good for someone three weeks shy of his 94th birthday.”

Bush also had a busy week then as he entertained the cast of the Broadway hit Hamilton. The former president also had lunch with all of the volunteers in his Houston office to thank them for their hard work year-round.

Social media users have sent their well-wishes for the fast recovery of the 41st President of the country.
