Senior Massachusetts Senator in Mass General Hospital after Having a Seizure
Yesterday morning at his Hyannis Port home, Senator Ted Kennedy was experiencing something that looked like a stroke and was immediately taken to Cape Cod Hospital. Soon, he was airlifted to Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. His doctor has determined that it was a seizure. Kennedy is listed under serious condition at the hospital, but it is not life-threatening.
Last October, Kennedy underwent surgery to clear blockage for an artery in order to prevent strokes and seizures.
Yesterday afternoon, the senator was talking and making jokes with his family members and visitors at his hospital room. He even watched the Red Sox game. He will be staying there for the next few days to determine what caused the seizure. The senator is 76 years old. The last time he was in a hospital in serious condition was more than 40 years ago when he was in a plane crash that killed two people.
Meanwhile on Cape Cod, the Best Buddies charity event went on as scheduled without the senator who was going to host a clambake after the event.
All three presidential candidates issued statements of sympathy to Kennedy and his family.
Get well soon, Senator Ted.
