WASHINGTON: The wife of US Secretary of State John Kerry remained in hospital yesterday for tests, but her condition appeared to be improving after she suffered what may have been a seizure.
Teresa Heinz Kerry, 74, spent the night in Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston where she was flown late Sunday after first being rushed to a local hospital on Nantucket Island.
“After conducting tests overnight and this morning, doctors... have upgraded Teresa Heinz Kerry’s condition from critical to fair,” Kerry’s personal spokesman Glen Johnson said in a statement.
Kerry and one of Heinz Kerry’s sons remained at the Boston hospital with her along with other family members, he said, adding that they were “touched by the outpouring of well-wishes”.
Johnson did not specify what Heinz Kerry was suffering from, but another source close to the family said they had become concerned on Sunday “when they noticed symptoms which were consistent with a sort of seizure”.
