Former President George H.W. Bush was discharged from a Maine hospital on Sunday; four days after the 91-year-old fell and broke a bone in his neck at his summer residence.

Jim McGrath, spokesman of the 41st president confirmed that "a very grateful president" had been released from Maine Medical Center after receiving treatment for a fractured vertebra. "He is in good enough condition that they can continue his recovery at home," McGrath said, according to The Associated Press.

Bush, the oldest living ex-president, was admitted to the hospital on Wednesday with broken C2 vertebrae after a fall at his Kennebunkport home in Maine. He was never disoriented and the injury did not lead to any neurological complications, McGrath said Thursday, according to CNN.

His doctors called the injury a significant one, but said that the former president was in great shape and expect him to make a full recovery.

Bush suffers from a form of Parkinson's disease, leaving him unable to walk. He uses a wheelchair to get around and spends most of the summer at the family's coastal compound with his wife and moves back to Houston for the rest of the year. The Maine home, known as "Walker's Point' also hosted a retreat for Jeb Bush's highest campaign donors last week, according to The Washington Post.
