 The type of fracture that Bush sustained usually takes three to four months to heal, attending physician Dr. William D'Angelo said. 
 
 A statement released Thursday from Bush’s office said that "the president never lost consciousness, and the injury he sustained neither impinged on his spine nor resulted in any neurological deficits." According to the statement, Bush will not need surgery but will be in a neck brace for "at least a couple of months." ||||| KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine (AP) — Former President George H.W.

 Doctors said they anticipate the 41st president will recover fully in three or four months.

 Former president George H.W. Bush was hospitalized in Maine on Sunday, according to his spokesman Jim McGrath. 
 
 The former chief executive was taken to Southern Maine Health Care after experiencing low blood pressure and fatigue, McGrath tweeted just after 2 p.m. ET. Bush will likely remain in the hospital for a few days for observation. McGrath tweeted that Bush, the nation's 41st president, was "awake and alert, and not in any discomfort." 
 
 Bush, 93, was hospitalized for an infection in Houston the day after the funeral for his wife of 73 years. Barbara Bush died April 17 at the age of 92 and was buried at the Bush presidential library at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas. 
 
 The former president recovered from his health problems enough to return to his family's vacation spot on the coast of Maine on May 20. Bush, also a former vice president and head of the CIA, has visited Walker's Point every summer since his childhood, except when he was serving as a Navy pilot in World War II.
