NEW: We have breaking news from Texas tonight. Former President George H.W. Bush has been admitted to a hospital in Houston after contracting an infection that spread to his blood. -


Can't imagine he's got much fight left in him without Mrs Bush around.

Nah ... he'll follow her fairly quickly I would imagine. They were connected. 73 years of marriage will do that.

Doesn't sound like he's got much time left. I hope he repents of his sins and trusts in Christ's sacrifice.

Sadly its not uncommon to see one spouse go so soon after losing the other.

He will die in the next couple of days of a broken heart. It happens with elderly people who have spent a lifetime being together all the time. It’s actually a beautiful ending.

Former President George H.W. Bush was admitted to Houston Methodist Hospital on Sunday morning after developing an infection that had spread to his blood, his spokesman said Monday evening.

Bush spokesman Jim McGrath revealed on twitter that Bush had been hospitalized.

"President Bush was admitted to the Houston Methodist Hospital yesterday morning after contracting an infection that spread to his blood," McGrath wrote Monday. "He is responding to treatments and appears to be recovering. We will issue additional updates as events warrant."

I'm sure he saw things, did things, allowed things to happen he wishes he wouldn't have. But this is an intimate moment for him that will allow for that to pass. Godspeed, I can't imagine what 70+ years of marriage does with the passing of another.

Considering how long they were together, not surprising. He won't last much longer.

He lived one helluva life. He deserves the rest.

Not unexpected, I just hope he is kept comfortable and doesn’t suffer. And that he gets to grab a few nurses’ asses.

He probably has a urinary catheter and got a UTI that went to sepsis quickly because of the stress he is under..I don't see him here in 3 months. I am actually surprised that he chose to treat this disease process after she chose not to treat in the end...

I wish him well.

I will always be conflicted on him politically given his treatment of Trump during the campaign. I would have had more respect for him going out if he went off on Trump because he is Jeb’s Dad rather than from the globalist cabal perspective. He got in bed with the Clintons and never crawled out.

Damn that sucks but I can’t say I’m surprised. Both sets of my grandparents died within a year of their spouse’s passing.
