Teresa Heinz Kerry, the wife of Secretary of State John Kerry, was at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston on Sunday night after being stricken with an unspecified medical condition while on the island of Nantucket.
A person in close contact with the family said Kerry was hospitalized after showing symptoms consistent with a seizure. The person was not authorized to speak publicly about her condition and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
Earlier Sunday, Heinz Kerry was taken by ambulance to Nantucket Cottage Hospital accompanied by Kerry, according to a statement from Kerry spokesman Glen Johnson. Noah Brown, a spokesman for the Nantucket hospital, said she arrived in critical condition after 3:30 p.m. ET but was stabilized by doctors.
"The family is grateful for the outpouring of support it has received and aware of the interest in her condition, but they ask for privacy at this time," Johnson's statement said. Heinz Kerry was accompanied by her husband to the Boston hospital.
