Former president George H.W. Bush has was<span style="color: Red;">*</span>released Sunday from a hospital in<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Portland, Maine,<span style="color: Red;">*</span>just days after he was admitted with a broken bone in his neck.
Jim McGrath, a spokesman for the 41st president, confirmed in a message on Twitter that "a very grateful" Bush was discharged.
Bush, 91, injured himself when he fell Wednesday in his<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Kennebunkport<span style="color: Red;">*</span>home. The president was first taken to Southern Maine Medical Center<span style="color: Red;">*</span>and then was transferred to Maine Medical Center.
William D'Angelo, a physician at the Maine Medical Center, previously said Bush fractured his<span style="color: Red;">*</span>C2 vertebra<span style="color: Red;">*</span>and there was<span style="color: Red;">*</span>no plan for surgery. Bush is expected to use<span style="color: Red;">*</span>several different neck braces as he heals and will need physical therapy.
Bush never lost consciousness and did not<span style="color: Red;">*</span>damage his spinal cord.
