It will be hard to bounce back.
According to a statement from Byrd’s staff released Sunday afternoon, the senator “was admitted to the hospital late last week suffering from what was believed to be heat exhaustion and severe dehydration as a result of the extreme temperatures. He was expected to remain in the hospital not more than a few days.”
The statement added: “However, upon further examination by his doctors, other conditions have developed which has resulted in his condition being described as ‘serious.’”
Byrd’s office did not say which hospital he was in, although Byrd’s doctors described his condition as “seriously ill.”
