George H.W. Bush aide: 'Put the harps back in the closet'
An aide to George H.W. Bush said Friday the former president continued to battle complications from a persistent case of bronchitis in a Houston-area hospital, but that well-wishers should "put the harps back in the closet."
"Is he sick? Yes. Does he plan on going anywhere soon? No. He has every intention of staying put," Jean Becker told The Associated Press.
Bush has been in the hospital for more than a month, despite initial hopes he would be able to return home for Christmas. Earlier this week, it was reported that the former president had been moved to the intensive care unit, with an aide telling The Hill "when you go in the ICU I think it's inherently a serious situation."
