George H.W. Bush Moved Out of Intensive Care Unit After Health Scare

Former President George H.W. Bush Moved Out of Intensive Care Unit

(TheBlaze/AP) — Former President George H.W. Bush’s condition continued to improve Saturday, prompting doctors to move him out of intensive care, a spokesman said.

“President Bush’s condition has improved, so he has been moved today from the intensive care unit to a regular patient room at The Methodist Hospital to continue his recovery,” family spokesman Jim McGrath said Saturday. “The Bushes thank everyone for their prayers and good wishes.”

Bush was hospitalized Nov. 23 for treatment of a bronchitis-related cough. He was moved to intensive care at the Houston hospital on Dec. 23 after he developed a fever, spending Christmas away from home.

On Friday, McGrath said Bush had improved since arriving in the ICU. He said he was alert and in good spirits and was even doing some singing.

After news of the prolonged hospital stay prompted fear for his condition, Bush’s chief of staff Jean Becker said the former president told him to instruct family and friends to “please put the harps back in the closet.”

Bush, the country’s 41st president, is the oldest living former president by a few months. And as Fox News notes, he is notoriously vivacious. He has gone skydiving three times since leaving office, most recently on his 85th birthday.

McGrath said Saturday morning that future updates on Bush’s condition would be made as warranted.

I just wonder if all those expressing concern for Bush (pers et fils) were as concerned whenever another ultraliberal, Teddy Kennedy, died. Oh wait, Teddy had the D-word after his name, unlike the equally leftist Bushes, who had the R-word after theirs …only in their case, R should have stood for RINO.

  What you don’t understand is that I feel the same about the Clintons and Obama.
  They are all traitors of the people, guilty of treason.
  You, and 99.9 % of the people have no freakin’ clue.
  You have been lied to all of your life by these people, and enslaved by debt and regulations.
  
  They never told you that the United States Government has been a for-profit private Corporation since 1871.
  
  They never told you about the bankruptcy of 1933 when you were pledged (Your Labor) to the Federal Reserve Private Bank as Collateral.

  They never told you that all of America’s Gold, Land and “gov’t” went to the bank.
  
  They never told you at Bretton woods that the World Bank and IMF became the Creditors of the Bankrupt U.S.
  
  They never told you that the IMF and World Bank created the UN, and then the UN became the creditor of the U.S.
  
  They never told you that they were liquidating OUR COUNTRY in 1992 to absolve THEIR DEBT !!!!!!
  
  They never told you all of our stores have Genetically Modified Food !!!!
  
  They Never told you that they are spraying you with Aluminum, Barium and Strontium in Mass quantities:
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9cQfcKR0EM
  
  Here is their biggest crime:
  Not telling you that this Constitution and Government is a Trust, and the People are the Beneficiaries.

  civil war,
  
  First, it is wrong, not rong. Not poking fun but you made the mistake several times in other posts too. If I am going to take your arguments seriously I must take you seriously.
  
  Who is disagreeing with what this sad little troll is posting? You both miss the point. A human being has been removed from intensive care and is doing better. This has nothing to do with politics.
  
  As far as the troll being wrong or right, you do realize that people put spin on everything, right? It rarely is as easy and straightforward as suggested. I am no fan of either of the Bushes, but on the other hand, I see them as far less evil than Obama. I believe both are inherently honest Christian men who always do what THEY FEEL is right. I would trade Obama for either one at this point.
  
  I do not have to prove the moron troll “rong.” He is free to believe whatever tin-foil hat, black copter theories he chooses. It has no basis in reality though…

  @Troll trainer.
  
  Yeah, Theodore Roosevelt and Charles A. Lindbergh Sr. were tinfoil hat wearers for talking about an
  “Invisible Government”.
  
  And Bush Sr. is such a Kook talking about the New World Order.
  
  Here is the big conspiracy theorist, JFK:
  
  “The very word “‘secrecy’” is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings.”
  
  “For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies on covet means for expanding its sphere of influence–on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations.
  Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed.”
  - John F. Kennedy, New York City, April 27, 1961
  
  And FDR with his “financial element in the large centers has owned the government”
  Owned the Government ???? What a Conspiracy theorist !!!!

  Moron, you are not saying anything, merely giving a bunch of disjointed quotes that prove nothing. You don’t even have the context right. Take JFK, he is talking about the Soviet Union. What does that have to do with the US government?
  
  You ramble on and on about nothing and I am the idiot? er…okay…
  
  Once again, I have not read a single post here DEFENDING either Bush presidency. We all realize they were NWO progressives. So what? They were duly voted into the office and now they are gone. I didn’t like Carter or Clinton either.

  @CIVILWARCOMETH~~~
  Yes, I do know that about Mr. Bush. And, while I do not like the part he has played in the mess we find ourselves in these days, I do know that our LORD GOD IS MIGHTIER than any plans of mankind. Somehow in all of this, GOD’s WILL IS BEING FULFILLED. We don’t understand it from our perspective here on earth, but our duties are to love our GOD, to obey HIM. Have we done that? Are we doing that? I all too often find myself praying my will, not HIS; the things I think would help us rather than going to GOD and humbly asking HIM for HIS WILL.
  
  Our GOD IS GREATER than satan. GOD HAS ALREADY DEFEATED satan. It is our job as GOD’s ‘kids’ to follow HIS instructions to us and praying FOR our leaders is on that list of “things to do”. It is hard for me to do with the current leadership in our country, but I am trusting GOD to honor HIS instructions to us and our obedience to them.
  
  Does that help explain my original post?
