Former President George H. W. Bush has broken a vertebrae in his neck
after falling Wednesday at his summer home in Kennebunkport, Maine, his
spokesman Jim McGrath announced Wednesday.
"His condition is stable — he is fine — but he'll be in a neck brace," McGrath said in a tweeted statement.
McGrath told CNN, who first reported the fall, that Bush was never disoriented and that his condition "was not life threatening."
Bush, 91, was being treated at Portland's Maine Medical Center. The
hospital confirmed Bush was in stable condition, but could not say when
he would be released. It said he would be there at least overnight.
"We are not expecting a long stay," McGrath said about the President's planned treatment.
Bush previously spent the Christmas 2014 holidays hospitalized over shortness of breath in a Houston hospital. He was released after a week of care on Dec. 30.
