Sen. Mark Kirk’s office released the first photo of him after suffering a stroke in January.
In a statement from Kirk’s office, Dr. Richard Harvey provided an update on the senator’s condition:
“Senator Kirk remains fully engaged in all aspects of his rehabilitation program. He is mentally sharp, and meets with his staff nearly every day to discuss policy issues and global current events. Senator Kirk is working very hard in daily therapy sessions to increase his strength and mobility, and has walked more than 10 miles in total since his arrival at RIC. In addition he is climbing stairs and getting in and out of vehicles. We are quite pleased with his ongoing recovery.”
