Former First Lady Barbara Bush In Comfort Care, Not Seeking Treatment
“She is surrounded by a family she adores, and appreciates the many kind messages and especially the prayers she is receiving”
Former First Lady Barbara Bush is 92 and has decided she will no longer seek treatment for her failing health. Instead, she is focused on comfort care.
Former first lady Barbara Bush will focus on comfort care and will not seek additional medical after a series of recent hospitalizations, a family spokesman said Sunday.
The 92-year-old wife of former President George H.W. Bush is in “failing health,” family spokesman Jim McGrath said in a statement.
“Following a recent series of hospitalizations, and after consulting her family and doctors, Mrs. Bush, now age 92, has decided not to seek additional medical treatment and will instead focus on comfort care. It will not surprise those who know her that Barbara Bush has been a rock in the face of her failing health, worrying not for herself — thanks to her abiding faith — but for others,” the statement read.
“She is surrounded by a family she adores, and appreciates the many kind messages and especially the prayers she is receiving,” it continued.

Comments
My thoughts and prayers are with you, Mrs. Bush. We’ve lost a lot of your contemporaries and friends this year and I cannot imagine President Bush without you. God bless, good and faithful servant.
I wish her well. I always liked the ol’ gal.
