John Kerry's wife moves to rehabilitation

THE wife of US Secretary of State John Kerry has moved to a rehabilitation hospital after doctors said her condition had improved following a seizure.
On Thursday Teresa Heinz Kerry, 74, left Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, where she had been treated since falling ill on Sunday, Kerry's personal spokesman Glen Johnson said in a statement.
Doctors also upgraded her condition from "fair" to "good," meaning she could move to the city's specialist Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital to focus on her recovery, Johnson said.
"Doctors have concluded that Mrs Heinz Kerry suffered a seizure on Sunday, but they are still determining its precise cause," he said, adding "many possibilities have been ruled out," such as stroke, heart attack or a brain tumour.
Kerry, 69, will split his time between Boston and Washington and will resume his official travel schedule as the top US diplomat soon, Johnson added.
