Former President George H.W. Bush has been hospitalized and listed in stable condition after falling in his home and suffering from a broken neck bone on Wednesday

"41 fell at home in Maine today and broke a bone in his neck. His condition is stable -- he is fine -- but he'll be in a neck brace," wrote Jim McGrath, the 41st president's spokesman, on Twitter.

After falling in Kennebunkport, the 91-year-old former commander-in-chief was transported to Maine Medical Center in Portland.

Matt Paul, a hospital spokesman, said Bush had been taken to the hospital earlier that afternoon in a statement issued Wednesday evening. He added, "He was brought here earlier today and diagnosed with a fracture in his neck. He is in stable condition and will be wearing a neck brace," reports The Guardian.

McGrath added he has fractured his C2 vertebrae.

"The president never lost consciousness, and the injury he sustained neither impinged on his spine nor resulted in any neurological deficits. He continues to have normal use of his limbs," McGrath said, according to The Washington Post.

Instead of undergoing surgery, doctors said they plan to let Bush's injury heal naturally.

"President Bush will remain at Maine Medical Center to be fitted for a brace to immobilize the injured area, to continue physical therapy, and for further evaluation," said a statement from his office, reports USA Today. "We do not discuss timelines for discharge, but do not believe this will be a prolonged recovery period."

On Thursday, his son, former Florida governor Jeb Bush, told reporters in San Francisco that his father is "stable, doing okay."

White House spokesman Eric Schultz also announced Thursday morning that President Barack Obama had called Bush to wish him a "speedy recovery."

"The President extended best wishes on behalf of himself and the First Lady," Schultz said.

Bush, who served as president of the United States from 1989 to 1993, suffers from a form of Parkinson's disease and cannot operate his legs.
