If they catch a stroke in time and determine it's a blood clot obstruction they can administer medication that busts the blockage and reverses damage.

They have a 4-hour window.

DEVELOPING ...

Sen. Ted Kennedy has been taken to Massachusetts General Hospital, FOX 4 in Florida (WFTX)confirms.

The Massachusett's senator's medical condition is unknown.

According to an article in the Cape Cod Times, Kennedy was first rushed to Cape Cod Hospital Saturday morning after falling ill. But after spending two hours in the emergency room, he was flown by helicopter to Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.

The Democratic senator initially started feeling ill at the Kennedy compound in Hyannisport, according to the article.

May I add to what Diamonds so diplomatically stated - that he will need (and take) a long recuperation.

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

Too bad for Hussain Obama, one of his superdelegates is "incapacitated" and cannot vote... oh, I nearly forgot. These are Democrats: they vote from the grave...

I wish him no harm. It made me think of all the others before him though who have opposed Hillary......sorry, I know it isnt relevant, but her "luck" is just mind boggling. Here's hoping that he will recover and move into retirement on the compound. that would be best for all of us.
 
Come on folks don't try to hide it--- how do you really feel about Teddy ?

:prfl: :prfl:


Really, I pray God's will be done. AMEN:whistle:



I truly am sorry if I have offended fellow members with my comments. These comments are totally uncalled for and for that I apologize.

Maybe God has decided it's time for him to retire from the lifelong seat in the Senate......

As to that, I also wish him no harm but if it's his time then God's will be done.

I pray that he doesn't die. Do any of you realize the screw up of TV programming with his funeral? We'll miss the finale of American Idol.

Jesus said:
"You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

.:shk: Nice to see TB2k ers showing empathy. Remember no matter what your politics, he is a husband and a father and making merry when some one faces a potentially fatal condition is cheap and does not reflect well on the individual making them. Show some compassion.

I think this thread is pretty compassionate considering this man has spent nearly his entire life trying to destroy virtually everything most on TB2K believe in.

NEW: Kennedy's office confirms he is transferred to Boston hospital
NEW: Barack Obama says 'thoughts and prayers' are with Kennedy

(CNN) -- Sen. Edward Kennedy was rushed to a hospital in Massachusetts Saturday morning, his office confirmed. Kennedy was transferred to Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston for evaluation after initial treatment at Cape Cod Hospital, a statement from his office said. The senator spent less than an hour in the Cape Cod facility, hospital spokesman David Reilly said. Massachusetts General said it had no information on Kennedy.

A well-informed Democratic source in Massachusetts said the 76-year-old senator had "symptoms of a stroke" at the Kennedy family compound in Hyannis Port. An official with the Hyannis Fire Department said it received a 911 call from the Kennedy compound at 8:19 a.m. and transported a patient to the hospital, arriving at 8:50 a.m. The official would not be more specific.

Kennedy had surgery in October to clear his carotid artery in hopes of preventing a stroke. Colleagues said he had recovered quickly and was working energetically recently. He suffers chronic back pain from injuries suffered in a plane crash in 1964. Kennedy has represented Massachusetts in the Senate since 1962. He is one of only six senators in U.S. history to serve more than 40 years. He is known as a liberal champion of social issues such as health care, family leave, and the minimum wage. He ran unsuccessfully for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1980. He has endorsed Illinois Sen. Barack Obama for the 2008 nomination.

Obama said that his "thoughts and prayers" are with Kennedy. "We are going to try to find out as quickly as possible what is going on," Obama said, and added that he would call Kennedy's wife, Vicky. "He is one of my favorite people," Obama said.

Kennedy is the youngest of nine children in the famous family of Joseph and Rose Kennedy. His oldest brother, Joe, died in World War II; two other brothers, President John F. Kennedy and Sen. Robert Kennedy, were both assassinated in the 1960s.

I used to work in a building named after his brother. One day- must have been 1994 or '95- I ran into him walking down the hall, all by himself. He looked like the living dead then. I'm surprised he lasted this long without major health problems given how he looked then.

As to who wishes what for him- it's in God's hands, leave it at that.

Be Well

I love his soul, but loathe his viewpoints, speech and behavior. May he reap what he has sown, ASAP!


PS - and may he learn his karmic lessons so he becomes what God intended him to be, instead of the exact reverse.
