I liked their dogs.  Millie and Barbara both had  the same type of illness IIRC. 

 

When Barbara had a thyroid  problem and her eyes bulged a bit, she called herself popeye

 

She never was stuffy

@beckyb1012  Your photo of a young Mrs. Bush reminds me of Barbara Stanwyck.  Sending healing thoughts of good health for both of them.

Re: George & Barbara Both Hospitalized

Strangely enough I believe they both have Graves disease, I know I read that they both did the radioactive iodine treatment. I only know this from the research I have done about Graves. My Mom has it.

 

Also last summer President Bush Sr. fell at their home in Maine and was hospitalized. I think he injured his neck.

 

I think that old photo of Mrs. Bush looks a bit like her granddaughter Barbara. Wow she was beautiful, have never seen a photo like that of her.

Re: George & Barbara Both Hospitalized

They seem like such a loving couple - honest and funny and so committed to their family. 

 

I hope they're not uncomfortable

Re: George & Barbara Both Hospitalized

Pres Bush wrote the most beautiful letters to his wife. One was telling her they needed a little girl ,to fill their lives once again, after they had tragically lost a daughter

 

Larry King had Pres Bush on his TV show and he read the letter aloud to the viewers.

 

That was  always such a good talk show, I miss it

GHW is presently in the ICU and has been sedated and intubated to make his breathing easier.
