Former President George H.W. Bush's wife Barbara has been hospitalized as a precaution, CNN reports. A family spokesman said Barbara was fatigued and coughing.
UPDATE 1:14 p.m. EST:
Former President Bush was taken to the intensive care unit for respiratory problems as a result of pneumonia, ABC News reports.
He is in stable condition after undergoing a medical procedure.
Former President George H.W. Bush has been hospitalized but is reportedly "fine" and expected to return home in a few days, his chief of staff told reporters Wednesday.
Bush, 92, was taken to Houston Methodist Hospital with "shortness of breath," NBC News reports.
"He's fine, and he's doing really well," chief of staff Jean Becker said.
Bush, who served as president from 1989 to 1993, has Parkinson's disease and has been hospitalized several times in recent years. He was hospitalized in Maine in 2015 after falling at his summer home and breaking a bone in his neck, and was hospitalized in Houston the previous December for about a week for shortness of breath. He spent Christmas 2012 in intensive care for a bronchitis-related cough and other issues.
His office announced earlier this month he will not attend President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration due to his health.
