Sen. Edward Kennedy Hospitalized After Seizure
Date:5/17/2008

His carotid artery was cleared of a partial blockage last fall

SATURDAY, May 17 (HealthDay News) -- Massachusetts Sen. Edward M.

She added that Kennedy did not appear to have had a stroke as initially suspected.

According to the Boston Globe, a government official who accompanied the senator on the helicopter trip from Hyannisport to Boston said that Kennedy had experienced a second seizure during the ride. The report of a second seizure had not been confirmed by medical experts or Kennedy's office late Saturday afternoon.

His son Edward arrived at the hospital at about 1 p.m., the newspaper said, and his daughter, Kara, arrived about an hour later. His wife, Victoria, was at his bedside, the Globe reported, and his senatorial colleague from Massachusetts, John Kerry, also came to visit, as did his nephew, former Congressman Joseph P. Kennedy.

In October 2007, a partially blocked carotid artery in Kennedy's neck was discovered during a routine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examina
