Barbara Bush is handling false reports of her death like a BOSS

Update: Barbara Bush passed away Tuesday, April 17, 2018, after the publication of this article. CR extends condolences to the Bush family.

Amid news that former first lady Barbara Bush is in "failing health," CBS news mistakenly published her obituary. But reports of the Bush matriarch's demise are greatly exaggerated.

Here's how she's actually doing:

On Monday, the Bush family announced that Mrs. Bush would not seek further medical treatment and has instead decided to seek "comfort care" as her health fails. Bush has been hospitalized several times over recent years as she struggled with congestive heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

According to Bush's granddaughter, "Today" host Jenna Bush Hager, she is in "great spirits" as she rests with family members.

“She’s a fighter. She's an enforcer,” Bush Hager said Monday. “We’re grateful for her, for everybody’s prayers and thoughts, and just know the world is better because she’s in it.”

Barbara Bush is spending her time surrounded by people she loves, drinking bourbon, and we love her for that. Cheers, Mrs. Bush.
