9. From my experience with a beloved dog who had a brain tumor

surgically removed, followed by radiation, any kind of disturbance of the brain such as surgery, leaves the brain more susceptible to seizures than it was before.

Our Romeo continued to have seizures until he died six months later from a blood clot to the lung.

Upon necropsy, the brain tumor was shriveled down to nothing and had not grown at all, even though he had continued to have seizures.

12. Agree - from my exp. with bro who had GBM4 (same as Kennedy)

Yeah, bro had first seizure 6 months after surgery but still lived for 3 more years. They prolly just need to check Kennedy's meds, though there really is no getting rid of GBM4. It'll come back at some time :(

11. KO saying it was convulsions and Byrd having trouble eating.

Minor health event for Byrd followed by a more serious event involving convulsions involving Ted Kennedy, Per KO who is paraphrasing Howard Fineman.

God Bless them both.

14. *****Update per ABC*****

About ten minutes ago, they reported that they spoke to Sen. Kennedy's son at the hospital.
Apparently he shared that the Senator is awake, alert, in good spirits. He's expected to be fine.

:hi:

But let's continue to send good vibes to the Senator.
