HOUSTON — Former President George H.W. Bush has been taken to a Houston hospital after experiencing a shortness of breath.
Spokesman Jim McGrath said in statement that Bush was taken Tuesday evening by ambulance to Houston Methodist Hospital as a “precaution.”
McGrath says the 90-year-old Bush “will be held for observation.”
Bush spent nearly two months in the same hospital and was discharged in January 2013 after treatment for a bronchitis-related cough and other issues.
Bush, who can no longer use his legs, most recently appeared at a November event with his son, former President George W. Bush.
