George H W Bush in ICU

Eighty-eight year old George H. W. Bush's condition has worsened, and he was placed in an intensive care unit, on Sunday.

On November 7 the former President was admitted to Methodist Hospital in Houston, Texas, due to bronchitis.

He was released on November 19 only to be readmitted November 23, when his cough flared back up.

According to a spokesman, he had several setbacks, including a high fever, which required the move to the ICU.

The spokesman did say that he has greatly improved, since then, and is able to banter with his family and the hospital staff.

Bush will be kept in the ICU, until his condition has been upgraded above the current one of guarded.
