President George H.W. Bush was released from the hospital today, his spokesman said.

An image posted to Twitter by Jim McGrath, spokesman for President George H.W. Bush and Barbara Bush, shows the couple smiling from Houston Methodist Hospital in Texas.

The 92-year-old was first admitted to Houston Methodist Hospital on January 15, after experiencing "shortness of breath".

His wife, Barbara Bush, 91, was briefly admitted to the facility days later to be treated for fatigue and a cough.

During his stay the former president was intubated for 48 hours to aid with his breathing. His is a less-common version of Parkinson´s that only affects the lower body.

Barbara Bush, the former first lady, was also recently hospitalized with a case of bronchitis and released.

McGrath says Bush is thankful for the prayers and kind messages he's received and for the "world-class care" from doctors and nurses at the hospital. She stayed by her husband's side as he continued his recovery, McGrath said last week.

Bush, who was invited to attend the ceremony in Washington but did not endorse Trump in the election, was the only living former president who did not attend the inauguration.
