George H.W. and Barbara Bush are inseparable in hospital, have ‘amazing love for each other’: Doctors

Both doctors were impressed by the Bushes’ humility, gratitude and generosity. Mynderse said Bush was even surprised when she told him she was going to talk to the press about him.
“He doesn’t understand how loved he is, and her too,” she said. “They’re very grateful for the love that people show them and are just extremely humble, and a little bit awed by how beloved they are.”
“They never give any outward sign in terms of their behavior — let alone their requests — in terms of setting themselves on a pedestal,” Doerr said.
Bush suffers from an uncommon form of Parkinson’s disease that’s affected his lower body. It requires him to use a motorized wheelchair.
Mynderse acknowledged that it’s a serious situation whenever an older man with pneumonia needs to be intubated (treated with a tube) but said Bush is “not your average 92-year-old.”
Even when he had a breathing tube down his throat, Doerr recalled, Bush gave a thumbs-up to the medical team in the ICU — a testament to his intestinal fortitude.

Harry Kane is the first Englishman to score a hat-trick in consecutive games at Wembley England celebrated their 1,000th game in style as they secured qualification for Euro 2020 and won Group A with an emphatic demolition of Montenegro at Wembley. Captain Harry Kane moved to sixth in England's list of leading scorers as a first-half hat-trick took his tally to 31 - overhauling Frank Lampard, Alan Shearer, Nat Lofthouse and Tom Finney. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain opened the scoring on his first start for 18 months while Marcus Rashford was also on the scoresheet in that 45-minute barrage. As England and the Football Association enjoyed this landmark occasion, with a parade of legends and 1966 World Cup winners in attendance, Montenegro proved the most amenable of opponents, particularly in the opening half when Kane and company ran riot and the visitors' defending was shambolic. Oxlade-Chamberlain finished superbly to begin the rout while Kane quickly added two headers...
