Former US President George H.W. Bush Admitted to Hospital

Former President George H. W. Bush, 93, has been admitted to the hospital for a blood infection, a spokesman for the family said Monday evening. Bush was admitted to Houston Methodist Hospital Sunday morning. The former president's hospitalization follows so closely on the death of his wife Barbara last Tuesday. The family had been worried about how he would deal with her death and such an emotional week, according to CNN. He contracted an infection that spread to his blood, a statement read.
