Senator Robert Byrd hospitalized.

A speedy recovery for Senator Byrd. :)

Thinkprogress:

The Associated Press reports that Sen. Robert C. Byrd (D-WV) “was hospitalized
Monday night at his doctor’s urging after suffering from lethargy and sluggishness at his home,” according to Byrd’s press secretary, Jesse L. Jacobs:

Byrd, who is the longest-serving senator in history, voted during a 5:30 p.m. roll call Monday, then went home. Jacobs says that less than an hour later the senator began to feel ill. He was found to have a fever, and at his doctor’s request he was taken to a nearby hospital.

The 90-year-old senator was also “hospitalized March 5 for tests after a reaction to antibiotics. A week earlier he was hospitalized at Walter Reed Army Medical Center after a fall at home.”
