Breaking-Sen. Byrd Hospitalized

[jenmito]

He had a fever. Felt lethargic. That's all for now.

1. Wishing this brave and patriot, Senator Byrd, all the very best.

Here's to Senator Byrd.

2. Yes, me, too. I just picture how he was crying in the Senate about his friend Ted Kennedy, wishing

HIM well!

6. That was so sad...

I hope he gets better very soon. :)

3. Heard this just now on MSNBC

The second Keith said, "This just in, Senator Robert Byrd..." I gasped and my heart sank. Here's hoping it's something minor and Byrd is back on his feet in no time. Be well, Senator!

4. Same here!

I hope it's just a fever and he's better soon.

5. Possible diagnosis

UTI (urinary tract infection)--number one cause of fever and associated lethargy in the very elderly. Though I hope it is something else less difficult.

7. geez

This congress has to be the most sick ever. There's been several deaths, illnesses, criminals, retirements, etc. Hopefully he'll be OK.
