HOUSTON — Former President George H.W. Bush remains in stable condition at a Houston hospital where he is being treated for a lingering cough related to bronchitis.

Methodist Hospital spokesman George Kovacik said yesterday there is no change in the status of the 88-year-old Bush.

Kovacik said he would release a statement today if Bush’s condition changes, but said he couldn’t provide further details.
