Former President George H.W. Bush plans to celebrate his 90th birthday in Maine on Thursday night with a dinner for 200 family and friends, topped off with a performance by Irish tenor Ronan Tynan.
It is a far cry from a year and a half ago. On January 14, 2013, Bush was released from a Houston hospital after seven weeks of treatment for bronchitis, an infection and a persistent cough.
While he was already suffering from a form of Parkinson’s disease, some people weren’t sure how much he would be able to bounce back after the hospitalization. But not only has he been able to travel, he has also seen a political resurgence, CNN informs.
