[il-talk] Sen. Kirk Condition Update

[Steven Hastalis]

We must contact the Senators' offices during Washington Seminar to determine 
if they will hold the Senatorial Breakfast or Coffee, or whether Senator 
Durbin will hold it by himself or with members of Senator Kirk's staff.

Cordially,

Steve Hastalis

> "Senator Kirk continues to progress as expected and remains in serious but 
> stable condition this morning with no change in his neurological or 
> physical prognosis. Late yesterday, we performed a common surgical 
> procedure to create more space around the Senator's brain in order to 
> accommodate the expected peaking of swelling. The procedure, which removed 
> two small pieces of tissue previously destroyed and rendered 
> non-functional by the Senator's stroke, was completed successfully and 
> without complication. The procedure is unlikely to have any impact on his 
> physical or neurological prognosis. Upon examination this morning, the 
> Senator was alert, responsive and gave us the thumbs up on request," said 
> Richard Fessler, MD, PhD, neurosurgeon at Northwestern Memorial Hospital 
> and professor of neurological surgery at Northwestern University Feinberg 
> School of Medicine.
