HOUSTON (CBSDFW.COM) - Former President George H.W. Bush will remain at Houston Methodist Hospital Thursday evening after he was diagnosed with a mild case of pneumonia, according to a family spokesman.

Bush was admitted to the hospital Friday, April 14 for observation due to a persistent cough that prevented him from getting proper rest.
