Senator Ted Kennedy Hospital Watch (on Sunday)

*Update*
4:32 pm: We are standing by outside Mass General Hospital, waiting for any signs of family members of U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy. We know at this point, that we won’t be getting a news conference from the hospital, Kennedy’s staff, or his family members today. Updates on his condition are coming from his spokesperson in bits and pieces to select reporters. (Our own Major Garrett, FNC’s Congressional Correspondent is on the top of the list.)

It’s been quiet today, as we were told it would be. The Senator’s wife has been here, and there is word of other family members visiting as well. The main goal for doctors right now, is to find out the cause of the Senator’s seizure yesterday. Our medical experts tell us that the enzyme analysis we’ve been hearing about is normal, but is a reminder of how serious this situation is. Enzyme tests are used to determine if there has been a heart attack, if there is heart failure, if there is any kind of disease around vital organs. Basically, enzyme tests help pinpoint the problems going on inside the body. These tests are routine, and the results aren’t usually known for 48 hours, which explains why we’ve been told there may not be any official medical update until tomorrow.

Meanwhile, we stand by, and wait. Last night, in a surprise move, the hospital came out and fed the media! We see that sometimes during major disasters, or big scheduled news events, but everyone here was pleasantly surprised at the unexpected treat.

Not every reporter though got to grab a slice when it came out… Major Garrett was in the middle of doing a report for Geraldo when the food arrived. Here you see his producer Serafin Gomez setting up his live shot.  I don’t know if all the pizza was gone before they had a chance to grab some, but hopefully they did .

We heard last night that Kennedy ordered in some local seafood to the hospital, but there’s been no word on his eating habits today. Doctors continue to run their tests, and there may be an official update tomorrow at the earliest according to our sources. Look for Boston correspondent Molly Line to take over coverage in the morning — she was was literally plucked out of the water this weekend to cover the story. She was ironically right near the Kennedy compound in neighboring Hyannis getting her scuba certification, when the news broke Saturday, and was dispatched immediately to the compound to stand by. She just arrived at the hospital to get ready for tomorrow.  I just ran into her and was dying to know if she was able to get her certification before she had to quite literally jump ship… nope! She was a trooper of course, and said, she’ll get it next time!

When Ted Kennedy becomes old and useless I wonder if he’ll embrace ABORTION in order to save money. There are millions of babies waiting for him to explain his position.

Here is wishing the drunken sot a speedy hemmorage. Teddy boy has never explained nor served time for letting Mary Jo Kopechne suffocate in his car in 1969. He is scum and hides behind his name and wealth. Rot in hell Teddy.

Laura,
Why did the Senator leave the hospital on Matha’s vineyard and go to Boston? Martha’s Vineyard has good emergency and ICU care, according to their webpage. Makes me wonder if HillaryCare came to be, would I be stuck in a hospital that couldn’t care for me and if it’s good enough for me, why isn’t it good enough for the Senator?
Couldn’t one say the same about Obama? He’s kind of like Martha Vineyard Hospital. Good enough for me, but not for the Senator.
My guess is that Ted Kennedy will trust the country and my life with inexperience, but not his life…What do you think?
