Former president George H.W. Bush has been hospitalized, his spokesman told CNN early Wednesday morning.
Jim McGrath said that Bush has been hospitalized at Houston
Methodist Hospital since Saturday for shortness of breath, adding that
the 41st US president is responding well to treatments and will be
released from the hospital soon.
Bush, who served a single-term as President from 1988 to 1992, was
already not expected to attend the inauguration of the 45th President,
Donald J. Trump, in Washington on Friday due to health concerns.
Several bouts with illness have kept the 92-year-old out of the spotlight in recent years and he has rarely made public remarks.
Bush revealed several years ago that he suffered from a form of
Parkinson's disease that left him unable to walk. He uses a wheelchair
or a scooter to get around and had two other health scares in 2014 and
2015.

In December 2014 he was hospitalized after experiencing shortness
of breath, and the following July fell at his home in Kennebunkport,
Maine, breaking the C2 vertebrae in his neck.
The injury did not result in any neurological problems, his spokesman said at the time.
