The Senate office of Sen. Edward Kennedy has just released a statement saying the Democratic patriarch suffered a "seizure" this morning at Hyannisport, Mass. and is currently undergoing tests in Boston.
Here is the full statement:
It appears that Senator Kennedy experienced a seizure this morning. He is undergoing a battery of tests at Massachusetts General Hospital to determine the cause of the seizure. Senator Kennedy is resting comfortably, and it is unlikely we will know anything more for the next 48 hours.
CNN's Ed Henry is citing sources that say the family is optimistic about a "full recovery" for Kennedy.
