George HW Bush stable; wife Barbara '1,000% better'
Former US president George HW Bush, who has pneumonia, remains in a stable condition in hospital, while his wife Barbara said she is feeling "1,000% better" after undergoing treatment for bronchitis.
Bush spokesman Jim McGrath said the 41st president's doctors are "actively evaluating him" for removal of a breathing tube that was inserted on Wednesday in a procedure to clear his airway.
