Former President George H. W. Bush, 88, is in the intensive care unit of a Houston hospital and is in "guarded condition," according to family spokesman Jim McGrath. 

He was admitted to the hospital November 23 for bronchitis and spent Christmas there due to a rising fever, although he was initially expected to be home by the holidays.

Hospital Media spokesman David Bricker told ABC News that Houston Methodist Hospital will be releasing an updated statement on Bush’s condition, but could not provide a timeline for the release and added that such information would be revealed when doctors felt it was appropriate and in accordance with the wishes of the Bush family.
