Former US President George H W Bush's condition has improved, allowing him to be moved out after nearly a week in intensive care, his spokesman¹ has said.

美国前总统乔治·H·W·布什的女发言人称，他的身体状况已经好转，可以离开待了将近一周的特护病房。

George H W Bush was president from 1989-93

Mr Bush, 88, will continue treatment at the Methodist Hospital in Houston, where he was admitted on 23 November suffering from bronchitis（支气管炎）.

"The Bushes thank everyone for their prayers and good wishes," family spokesman Jim McGrath said.

Mr Bush is the oldest living former president and a World War II veteran.

He was admitted to intensive care on 23 December with a fever.

But on Saturday, Mr McGrath said the former president's condition had improved.

"So he has been moved today from the intensive care unit to a regular patient room at The Methodist Hospital to continue his recovery," he said.

Mr Bush was Ronald Reagan's vice-president for two terms, from 1981 to 1989, when he became the 41st US president. He was defeated by Democrat² Bill Clinton when he stood for re-election in 1992.

His son George W Bush served as 43rd president in 2001-09.
