She also revealed that the Bush family is hoping that the former First Lady will come back home soon.
“He’s (George H.W. Bush) concerned, but has great faith in the doctors. That just gives you an indication that it’s not serious. This is definitely just in for tests,” according to Jean Becker, who is the chief of staff for the office of the former president George Bush.
