Elder former President Bush hospitalized

The elder President George Bush was taken to a Houston hospital Tuesday night after experiencing shortness of breath, a family spokesman said.

Bush, 90, would be held at least overnight at Houston Methodist Hospital as a precaution, said the spokesman. 

The former president spent nearly two months at Houston Methodist — including a week in the intensive care unit — in late 2012 and early 2013 while suffering from a bronchitis-related cough and fever.
