Former President George H.W. Bush has been moved the intensive care unit at Texas Medical Center in Houston due to an apparently worsening “acute respiratory problem stemming from pneumonia.” Former First Lady Barbara Bush has also been hospitalized at the same facility as a “precaution due to fatigue and coughing.” A short statement from Bush’s spokesman, seen below, says additional updates will be issued “as warranted.”
