U. 7 08. Developing right now former president george h. W. Bushge h. Remains in a houston hospitalo the 92yearold was moved to intensive care yesterday following a procedure to cleare his airway. His airw mr. Bush has been in thebush hae hospital since saturdaye satday battling pneumonia. Baling pneum his wife, barbara, was alsolso admitted to the hospital hospitl yesterday for fatigue andan coughing. So what lies ahead in thead inthe recovery for the former president . Joining us now the doctor. Doctor pneumonia can affect people ofpf all es. S. Can it affect people are a bit older differently thander erentn somebody who is younger . Yonger . It certainly can steve and what we know actually is thats h the extremes of apes, so that at people that are the veryvery elderly like former president bush and then the youngstershe s really get hit hard when they ey get pneumonia which we know isiw an infection of the lungs that t can cause a lot ofe a lot inflammation and even mucus toeo get caught into the smallma airway so it can maken mke breathing very difficult particularly in the elderly population. Selby do you know what kindo of pneumonia he was dia ygounosa with and why that matters . Het used to hear a lot about walking pneumonia for exampleum and pneumonexia yoau get in the hospital. What can you tell us aboutan what you know about his condition. We know about the former yatu president bush is that hisent pneumonia was severe enoughvere that it required him to be hospitalized. Hospitaled. Thats very different than what we call a traditional walking pneumonia. Alki those are infections withnfectio organisms that actually willns give yous th sickness but your still able to go about your our day undont need to be hospitalized. Hospalized in president bushs caseresiden however he was hospitalizedr he because he was h waving troubleo breathing and that happensing a whenth its a more severe case e of pneumonia. Pneumon in his case he needed thatt procedure and it makes senses that he was hospitalized in the ice u twao monitor hisoni breathing. That was my next question. Icu sounds pretty serious. Se is that normal for the type ofy treatment hes received andce what type of treatment nowre will he be undergoing to hopefully aid in the recovery ry effort . So, he was placed on a then was placed on support toupo help him with clearing and protecting his airway. Ecting hia and he wasir likely giveny g antibiotics and othern dsupportive treatment to helpvee make sure that the breathingre that he has is Getting Better bt and that the infection can getgt cleared. Cleared. Icu certainly makes sense andesd while it sounds scary, waita also means is that app patient there gets more attention. T they have more nurses, morenurse staff really caring for them, more specialists looking ating their recovery so icu stay fort president bush does make sense e and i would expect soon expect n theyll try to step him downp hm and make sure he can breathe hee well on his own as thee infection clears. All right, well, we a certainly wish him thell best and i know that his wife isis wi also in the hospital sohosp s wishing her the best. Est.
