Number 41 is doing okay, thankfully.  While touch & go for nearly two months, former Pres George Herbert Walker Bush has been discharged from the hospital.

Admitted to Methodist Hospital in Houston on November 23, the elder statesman was treated for complications of bronchitis.

During his long admission, he was in intensive care for one week battling a high fever.  Doctors maintain the illness was not life threatening, however, wanted to keep Bush under observation in order to prevent a bout of pneumonia.

George H. W. is 88 years old.
