Former First Lady Barbara Bush Is In ‘Failing Health’ And Will Not Seek Additional Medical Treatment

This just in. Former First Lady Barbara Bush isn’t doing well. According to reports, she’s in “failing health” and “has decided not to seek additional medical treatment and will instead focus on comfort and care.”

Oh, my heart.

Here’s the full statement:

“Following a recent series of hospitalizations, and after consulting her family and doctors, Mrs. Bush, now age 92, has decided not to seek additional medical treatment and will instead focus on comfort care. It will not surprise those who know her that Barbara Bush has been a rock in the face of her failing health, worrying not for herself — thanks to her abiding faith — but for others. She is surrounded by a family she adores, and appreciates the many kind messages and especially the prayers she is receiving.”
