Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy Discharged From Hospital After Stroke
The Connecticut Democrat will spend several weeks in rehabilitation after a small hemorrhagic stroke, and doctors expect a full recovery.
- Connecticut Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy continues to improve five days after suffering a stroke, his office reported Friday. The 53-year-old Democrat is responding well to treatment and will miss several weeks of Senate votes.
- While attending his son's hockey game on Saturday, Oct. 31, Murphy experienced arm numbness and called 911 after sensing 'something was not right.' Doctors diagnosed him with a small hemorrhagic stroke at Johns Hopkins Hospital.
- Doctors are 'encouraged by the progress' Murphy has made, though medical experts note that recovery trajectories for strokes vary significantly. The senator is receiving care at a rehabilitation facility.
- Murphy is the fourth U.S. senator to suffer a stroke in recent years, joining Sen. Ben Ray Lujan, Sen. Chris Van Hollen, and Sen. John Fetterman, who all returned to work after their recoveries.
- With the U.S. Senate returning to Washington on Monday for a five-week lame-duck session following a month-long campaign recess, Murphy will remain absent to focus on his health.
