STATEMENT OFFERED THROUGH PATRIOTS SPOKESPERSON STACEY JAMES **
After speaking to the Bruschi family this evening, we are providing the following update on Tedy Bruschi's status and condition.
"On Wednesday morning, Tedy Bruschi suffered from headaches, blurred vision and some temporary numbness while at his home. He was taken to Massachusetts General Hospital, where he was admitted and held for evaluations. It has been determined that these symptoms were the results of a mild stroke. Tedy is in good condition and, as always, his spirits are high. He is walking and talking normally and stressed that he would like to thank everyone for keeping him and his family in their thoughts and prayers. The outpouring of support has been overwhelming and the Bruschi family is very appreciative."
