A double dose of good news for the elders of the Bush family: Barbara Bush, 91, is out of the hospital, and husband George HW, 92, is about to leave ICU, reports the AP. The former president was admitted to Houston Methodist Hospital on Jan. 14 because of breathing trouble, and he was subsequently treated for pneumonia and moved into ICU. His wife entered the same hospital Wednesday with bronchitis. She's now "back to her normal self," says one of the doctors treating the couple, and her husband is "not your average 92-year-old." He could be discharged this week, per KHOU-TV.
