Caroline Kennedy says her uncle, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, went through a lot to get to the Democratic Convention but is "doing unbelievably" well and remains determined to return to the Senate.
The Massachusetts senator on Monday night delivered a ringing summons to fellow Democrats to rally behind Barack Obama's quest for the White House.
"He's so inspiring," Caroline Kennedy said in an interview aired Tuesday morning on CBS' "The Early Show. "To watch him up there was just so great."
The senator, 76, has been battling brain cancer, but his niece said he was "doing unbelievably."
Kennedy flew to Denver on Sunday night, and his first stop was a hospital, where doctors examined him.
