US Rep. Tubbs Jones hospitalized near Cleveland
August 20, 2008

EAST CLEVELAND, Ohio --A hospital spokeswoman says U.S. Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones has been admitted to a Cleveland-area hospital.

Joyce Persuad of Huron Road Hospital in East Cleveland says Tubbs Jones was hospitalized on Tuesday. She says family members have asked that no other information on the five-term Cleveland Democrat be made public.

A telephone message The Associated Press left for an aide to the congresswoman Tuesday night was not immediately returned. A message also was left for a Cleveland police spokesman.

The 58-year-old Tubbs Jones became the first black woman to represent Ohio in Congress when she was elected in 1998.

Tubbs Jones is set to be a superdelegate at next week's Democratic National Convention in Denver. One of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's biggest boosters during the primaries, she threw her support to Barack Obama in June.

for an aneurysm.

Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones (D-Ohio) is in a Cleveland hospital after suffering an aneurysm that caused her to lose consciousness while driving Tuesday night.

A spokesman for Cleveland's Huron Hospital told The Associated Press that Tubbs Jones has been stabilized, but Capitol Hill sources said that her condition was serious.

Cleveland's WOIO is reporting that Tubbs Jones is on life support.

Cleveland Councilman Roosevelt Coat, who was seen sobbing outside the hospital, told the Cleveland Plain Dealer that Tubbs Jones' friends and relatives are preparing for the worst. Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich said that he and his wife were headed to Cleveland to offer comfort and support to the congresswoman's family.

Here's the latest link I saw as of 27 minutes ago:

A quote:

Tubbs Jones, 58, suffered the hemorrhage while driving her car in Cleveland Heights on Tuesday, said Dr. Gus Kious, president of Huron Hospital in East Cleveland. The congresswoman had been driving erratically and her vehicle crossed lanes of traffic before coming to a stop, police said.

Tubbs Jones "collapsed when she suffered a very serious brain hemorrhage caused by an aneurysm that burst in an inaccessible part of her brain," Kious said during a news conference. A team of doctors who evaluated her determined she has limited brain function.

My personal reaction:  OMG!  OMG!  OMG!  How awful!  And I've already said a prayer for her, and will keep praying very hard.

Note that Ms. Tubbs Jones has "limited" brain function, and that her brain is apparently operating at a low level; she is not dead.

My Mom came all the way back from something similar nine years ago.  Let's pray that this will be the case for Stephanie Tubbs Jones, who is truly a great American.

Note it'll be a tough rehab, if she can get there -- but my money is on her.  And minimal brain function beats none whatsoever -- although people have, on occasion, come all the way back from that, too.

The relevant quote in this article about the AP jumping the gun, btw, is this one:

Several news organizations, including The Associated Press, had earlier reported that Tubbs Jones had died. The AP cited a Democratic official.

The reports prompted Sen. John Kerry to issue a statement mourning her passing.



There's no excuse for this, DNC.  None.
