According to George H.W. Bush, the former First Lady is grateful for the kind thoughts:
Barbara thanks @BarackObama & @billclinton for their get-well wishes and is heeding their advice. Doesnt happen w every President she knows!
— George Bush (@GeorgeHWBush) January 2, 2014
But some tweeters can’t help but wonder if Bush was trying to make a more subtle point:
I really hope that HW Bush is subtweeting W right here: https://t.co/uyPHzscvVs

Is it just me, or is @GeorgeHWBush passive-agressively subtweeting Jimmy Carter? https://t.co/TqbDKHGoBx

Not gonna do it. Wouldn't be passive-aggressive at this juncture. https://t.co/1Ix1DXWrgx

We may never know for sure. But in the meantime, best wishes to Barbara Bush and her family!
@GeorgeHWBush I hope and pray that Mrs. Bush enjoys a speedy and safe recovery.
