Sen. Edward Kennedy could make an unscheduled appearance at this week's Democratic convention if his physicians give him the go-ahead, his son says.
"If anything, it'd be an 11th-hour call," Rep. Patrick Kennedy, D-R.I., said in a telephone interview Sunday with The Associated Press. "If he's up to it in the 11th hour and can get the green light from doctors, he might be able to pull it off."
(...) Rep. Kennedy visited his father over the weekend in Hyannis Port, Mass. and was traveling to Denver on Sunday.
(...) "He was able to make the Medicare vote, and that was the vote that turned the bill around," Rep. Kennedy said.
"The convention would be a nice thing for him to show up at," his son said. "It's certainly one he'd like to do, if he could. But the Medicare vote was a must-do. This is not a have-to."
He said the treatments have gone well.
"We need him back in the Senate in September," he said. "He's doing well."
