HOUSTON – A spokesman for former President George H.W. Bush and his wife, Barbara, said both are improving and had a good night as they recover from illnesses at Houston Methodist Hospital.
Bush family spokesman Jim McGrath said the 92-year-old former president is likely to remain in intensive care for a few more days, as he's being treated for breathing difficulties from pneumonia. He's been in the Houston hospital now for a week.

Former first lady Barbara Bush entered the hospital Wednesday with bronchitis. McGrath said she could be discharged Sunday.
