Former President George H.W. Bush has been hospitalized in Houston with bronchitis, a source close to the family told NBC News.

Bush, 88, has been suffering from a severe cough, and was in and out of the hospital for the last couple of weeks, where doctors have been working to treat him. He was admitted out of "an abundance of caution" due to his age, the source told NBC on Thursday.
