[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Ted Kennedy paralyzed, another seizure (Page 1 of 6)

Posted: 7/23/2009 5:52:46 PM EDT

He has had another seizure and it has left him paralyzed.

Although he'd been fighting a valiant battle against brain cancer for more than a year, the 77-year-old senator was jolted by a frightening seizure in mid-July that paralyzed the right side of his body and left his speech slurred.

Distraught family members had been holding a vigil at the Kennedy compound in Hyannis Port, Mass., "praying he would go in peace without too much pain," a close family source told The ENQUIRER.

"No one wanted to see him paralyzed. We couldn't think of the 'Lion of the Senate' going out that way."

The ENQUIRER previously reported the senator suffered a mild seizure in mid-June and instructed wife Vicki not to take him to a hospital because he "wanted to die in his own bed," a close source divulged.

The medical setback prevented Ted from making an appearance outdoors at the Kennedys' annual July 4 clam bake, although he was able to go outside July 10.

Only days later, however, he was rocked by another, more intense, seizure and collapsed, according to multiple sources.

"After resisting the wheelchair for so long, this time there was no other choice," a Kennedy family insider told The ENQUIRER. "He was slurring words, but was strong enough to lay down the law and tell wife Vicki he would NOT go to Cape Cod Hospital."

Exclusive ENQUIRER photos show Ted in a wheelchair as he was taken out a few days after the seizure for "some fresh air on a boat," said another close source.

"As much as he loved being out on the water, he looked stunned and afraid. His demeanor had dramatically changed almost overnight because of the sudden right-side paralysis."

Added the close family source: "Vicki and Ted's children were unprepared to see him paralyzed - and the reality of 'the end being near' quickly settled in - leaving them numb and shell-shocked."

Everyone try to be nice.

I move that every bill he has introduced/passed in the past 100 years should be struck from the books as his mind has been compromised.

Is it against the CoC to hope someone rots in hell?

I hope he doesn't linger too long. That would be a drain on his federally provided health care.

We need him to hold on as long as possible so they don't replace him.

They can't get their 60 votes without him and he's never going to vote again.

He appears to be facing death with some dignity. That's about the nicest thing I could think of to say.

Did she fight "valiantly" though.

The country will be better off without him in office. Whatever happens to him beyond that......is between him and God.

+1, Zombie Ted " the swimmer" Kennedy would do this country more good than he ever did with a semi-functioning brain.

Uh, no, they are "special" and don't have to have it. They get the platinum policy, we get the shit colored one.

Under the "Obongo" plan, you'd be left to die, you certainly wouldn't get the treatments he has been having.

I wonder if the problem developed on July 18. That would have been a funny coincidence.

media will play it all up, congress will too. try to get the sympathy support for everyone to get the superb so called healthcare. healthcare bill will be know as ted kennedy's healthcare, congress will devote it to him. somewhere along the lines of this...
