Kirk’s brain swelling subsides, skull reattached

Posted in:

* This statement was released yesterday and I didn’t see it…

“The swelling in Senator Kirk’s brain has subsided and this morning we were able to reattach the portion of his skull that had been removed following his stroke. This is an important milestone in his recovery and a step toward the next phase, rehabilitation. He remains in good condition,” said Richard Fessler, MD, PhD, neurosurgeon at Northwestern Memorial Hospital and professor of neurological surgery at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine.

The news just keeps getting better. My father had a stroke a while back, so I know recovery takes time and there can be setbacks along the way. We shouldn’t celebrate quite yet, but we should definitely be encouraged by this news.
