CHICAGO - Northwestern Hospital physicians upgraded U.S. Senator Mark Kirk's condition following a debilitating stroke last weekend.
“Senator Kirk’s recovery is continuing. He is alert, talking and responding well to questions,” Dr. Richard Fessler, said in a statement from the hospital Monday morning. “He has been upgraded to fair condition and we are very pleased with his progress.”
Doctors are very confident about Kirk’s mental recovery, but have said he may continue to have physical problems with his left arm and leg, requiring lengthy rehabilitation. WLS
