Kennedy leaves hospital after seizure
Kennedy’s office confirmed the senator left Washington Hospital Center, where he had been resting overnight for observation. A Kennedy representative, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the Massachusetts senator was in good spirits and that doctors wanted him to get some rest.
Doctors on Tuesday had blamed fatigue for the seizure. Kennedy, who has been under treatment for a brain tumour since last spring, suffered the seizure during an inaugural luncheon after attending the swearing-in of President Barack Obama. He talked with family and friends and felt well while he was at the hospital, according to a statement released by his office on Tuesday.
