(CNN) - Former first lady Barbara Bush was released from a Texas
hospital Wednesday, four days after being admitted for a series of tests.
Doctors believe the 84-year-old wife of former President George H.W. Bush may have suffered a mild relapse of Graves disease, a thyroid condition for which she was first treated in 1989, according to a statement released from Houston's Methodist Hospital.
In response, Mrs. Bush's medication levels have been adjusted, the statement said. "Upon discharge she was alert, talkative and appeared to be getting stronger as she prepared to return home," it said.
Last year, Mrs. Bush underwent open-heart surgery, during which doctors replaced her aortic valve with a biologic valve. She spent nine days in the hospital afterward.
Doctors believe the valve "is working very well," the hospital's statement said.
In November 2008, Mrs. Bush underwent surgery for a perforated ulcer.

Hospital should have released her to the Graveyard.
She should burn in Hell.
She gave birth to Satan.
She has Healthcare. She is Fortunate.
Her Son G.W. and her Husband G.H.W are Warmongers.
G.W. = Iraq war 2003
G.H.W. = Iraq war 1991.
Both G.W and G.H.W are Oil Greedy.
Even though I am a 110% full-blooded LIBERAL Democrat, I still would like to wish Barbara Bush the absolute BEST OF HEALTH !! At least some of us liberals have compassion for others regardless of party affiliation (unlike some other Grand Ol' Plunderers [GOP] that I know...Ughhh !!)
I'm glad to hear she's okay. She's a classy lady.
It is a shame she couldn't have expired before giving birth to that bucket of crap she calls son.
The Devil's mother is back...
It must be hell to have given birth to the most hated man on earth.
If I was Barbara Bush, I would have aborted George Bush, rather than giving birth to an Evil.
Is there not more important news than this?
She is a pretty remarkable Matriarch.
A husband for a President. Two sons
who were governors. A son who was
President twice. Hell of a resume' for
a wife and mother. Always had alot of
respect for this gutsy lady.
Why did G.W.Bush attack Iraq?
.....Oil.
Why did G.W.Bush not go after Bin Laden ?
.....Bin Laden was G.W.'s friend and G.W. was an insider to 9/11 attacks.
Why did G.W.Bush not strengthen homeland security?
.....He wanted to invade other countries for Oil.
Why did G.W.Bush put our troop in harmsway?
.....Oil is more precious for G.W than human life.
Why did G.W.Bush not care for economy, healthcare, jobs, industry, .... ?
.....He wanted Oil Oil and nothing but Oil.
A child inherits 50% mentality, thought and wisdom from Mother.
G.W.Bush's greed for oil is 50% inherited from Barbara Bush.
Thus we can probably deduce that she is a greedy woman.
