HOUSTON (AP) - President George H.W. Bush, who has been in a Houston hospital with a lingering cough since November, needs to "build up his energy" before he can be released, doctors said Sunday.

Methodist Hospital spokesman George Kovacik said in an emailed statement that doctors are still optimistic the 88-year-old Bush will make a full recovery, but are being "extra cautious" with his care. Bush is in stable condition, he said.

Bush was hospitalized Nov. 23 for treatment of a bronchitis-related cough. Hospital officials have said Bush has been receiving physical therapy to increase his strength.

Bush spokesman Jim McGrath said on Thursday Bush could be released in time for Christmas.

However, Kovacik said Sunday a discharge date has not been set, and it remains unclear whether the 41st president will be able to spend the holiday at home. Kovacik said that could be decided Monday, Christmas Eve.

Wanasema his condition is deteriorating....

HOUSTON (AP) - A "stubborn" fever that kept former President George H.W. Bush in a hospital over Christmas has gotten worse, and doctors have put him on a liquids-only diet, his spokesman said Wednesday.

Jim McGrath, Bush's spokesman in Houston, had said earlier in the day that the fever had gone away, but he later corrected himself.
"It's an elevated fever, so it's actually gone up in the last day or two," McGrath told The Associated Press. "It's a stubborn fever that won't go away."

Doctors at Methodist Hospital in Houston have run tests and are treating the fever with Tylenol, but they still haven't nailed down a cause, McGrath said. Doctors also have put Bush on a liquid diet, though McGrath could not say why.

The bronchitis-like cough that initially brought Bush to the hospital on Nov. 23 has improved, McGrath said. The 88-year-old is now coughing about once a day, he said.

Bush was visited on Christmas by his wife, Barbara, his son, Neil, and Neil's wife, Maria, and a grandson, McGrath said. Bush's daughter, Dorothy, will arrive Wednesday in Houston from Bethesda, Md. The 41st president has also been visited twice by his sons, George W. Bush, the 43rd president, and Jeb Bush, former governor of Florida.

He was ONE TERMER and never a great President. He lost Somalia where two hundred Marines were killed like Chicken within 24 hours. He had the lowest IQ compared to all US Presidents followed by his Son. How great is that?

"Yes, President Bush is in ICU where he is getting the best medical care in the world," she wrote. "Is he sick? Yes. Does he plan on going anywhere soon? No. He has every intention of staying put.

"He would ask me to tell you to please 'put the harps back in the closet,'" she said.
 
Rais wa zamani wa Marekani, George H.W.Bush amelezwa kwenye chumba cha wagonjwa mahtuti -ICU katika hospitali moja huko Houston katika jimbo la Texas nchini Marekani.
Kiongozi huyo wa zamani mwenye umri wa miaka 88 alilazwa hospitalini mwezi uliopita akiwa na tatizo la kupumua.

Msemaji wake anasema bwana Bush alihamishiwa kwenye chumba cha wagonjwa mahututi Jumapili baada ya kupata homa kali. Aidha msemaji huyo anasema rais huyo wa zamani anaendelea kuangaliwa kwa karibu na kwamba madaktari wana matumaini kuhusu matibabu yake.

Mkewe Barbara Bush na mtoto wake mmoja wa kiume pamoja na mjukuu wa kiume walisheherekea sikukuu ya Krismas hospitalini hapo na bwana Bush.
