Tuesday night, President George W. Bush‘s mother, former first lady Barbara Bush, had to be rushed to the hospital.
Laura Bush confirmed the news that her mother-in-law was hospitalized overnight for pain.
George’s mom was taken in a private car to a hospital in Houston, Texas after feeling “a little bit of pain.”
Better to be safe than sorry!
But, today, says Laura Bush, “She’s doing great. George and I talked to both president Bush and Barbara Bush last night while they were in the hospital. They were doing very well then.”
Thank goodness. At her age (83), every time Babs goes to the hospital can be scary.
Laura Bush adds, “This morning, we didn’t call them because we were afraid we got up too early and would wake them up too early. But the White House doctor did talk to Barbara Bush’s doctor. And she’s doing very well. We’re really thankful.”
The former first lady is undergoing tests, but thankfully “so far everything is negative. Fortunately, it looks like it’s going to be a small matter.”
And on a good note, they hope to release her from the hospital in time to spend Thanksgiving with her family.
