Senator Edward Kennedy, who has been battling brain cancer since May of last year, suffered a seizure not long after he was able to congratulate President Barack Obama at the start of the inaugural luncheon.
It’s no surprise that this may have happened and it may not be entirely related to the brain cancer itself. The day is a long and grueling day, with a lot of hurry up and wait. Not to mention, all the stuff that leads up to a day like today.
The reports do say that tests didn’t show any worsening of the cancer and that Senator Kennedy will be discharged home in the morning.
I’ve written about the Senator’s battle in these posts:
