The Tennessee Senate Republican Caucus on Friday provided an update on the health of state Sen. Kerry Roberts, R-Springfield, who suffered an aneurysm earlier this month. The Tennessee Journal reprinted the statement: Roberts “remains in the Neuro Intensive Care Unit and continues to experience vasospasms, placing him at risk for a stroke and requiring him to be under careful monitoring. His medical team continues to anticipate a full and complete recovery and his recovery timeline remains within expectations for a brain hemorrhage.” The statement also said that with continued improvement, he is expected to be released this week. Roberts thanked all those who have prayed for him and sent him encouraging messages and said that because of severe headaches he has not been able to respond. “I have been touched by so many kind messages and look forward to responding soon,” he said.
