UPDATED: Teresa Heinz Kerry Hospitalized Following Symptoms of Seizure


Teresa Heinz Kerry, wife of U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and widow of former Sen. John Heinz, was hospitalized in critical but stable condition today after showing what an anonymous person close to the family called symptoms of a seizure on Sunday. Heinz Kerry, 74, was initially hospitalized in critical condition at Nantucket Cottage Hospital, but doctors were able to stabilize her before the transfer to Massachusetts General Hospital, where physicians are set to evaluate her this morning. Prior to Heinz Kerry’s hospitalization, John Kerry had been working on economic talks with senior Chinese officials, but according to the State Department, his schedule may be altered depending on his wife’s condition.
