George H. W. Bush Hospitalized One Day After Barbara Bush's Funeral
-------------------------------------------------------------------

And George H. W. Bush has been hospitalized and is in a Houston
intensive care unit with sepsis, after an infection spread into his
bloodstream. A spokesperson for the 93-year-old former president said
Bush is "responding to treatments and appears to be recovering." Bush's
hospitalization came one day after he attended a funeral for his wife,
former first lady Barbara Bush. Saturday's funeral was also attended by
other former presidents and first ladies: George W. and Laura Bush, Bill
and Hillary Clinton, and Barack and Michelle Obama. First lady Melania
Trump also joined, but President Trump remained at his golf resort in
Mar-a-Lago, where the White House says he watched the funeral on
television.
