WTF? How is Senator Kennedy? I hope he's o.k. I'll never give up hope.

1. Kennedy would vote on a health care bill
You're talking about his life's work here. If he had to be carted in on a stretcher to vote, he would do it.

2. Not good -
the treatments he's receiving are, I assume, really debilitating.

And there's a news blackout on Senator Byrd's condition. This time, they didn't even allow the name of the hospital to be made public, but I have this bad feeling that he won't return.

I cannot bear to think about what might happen to Senator Kennedy. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

4. We're going have to start getting used to it
I swear, he's surviving on sheer will and the hope that a health care bill - as we know, his life's work - will be one he can vote for.

A dream of mine for the last few years has been "The Edward M. Kennedy Health Care For America Act".

7. It Seems That People Who Are Seriously Ill Have A Way Of Holding On
to see a loved one, or to get a health care bill, for example. Hell, I want Teddy to live forever!

3. frankly, i think kennedy is waiting to vote on healthcare. he wants to
get that done. Let's give him a great healthcare bill to vote on senators!! a real example of someone who may not have to know what it's like for the rest of us who is still fighting to get us what we need. I hope they give him a GOOD bill to vote on and get it passed.
