Papa Bush ‘in good spirits’

HOUSTON — Former President George H.W. Bush remains in intensive care, but he’s improving.

Bush family spokesman Jim McGrath said yesterday that the 88-year-old former president is continuing to improve. He says Bush is “alert and, as always, in good spirits.”

Bush has been hospitalized since Nov. 23. He was moved into intensive care on Sunday for treatment of a fever following a bronchitis-related cough.
