SOUTHGATE, Ky. (CBS/AP) — The family of former U.S. Senator and Phillies pitcher Jim Bunning said Friday he suffered a stroke this week but is out of intensive care.
Bunning was stricken Tuesday at his home in Southgate. A family statement said he was out of intensive care and in transitional care.
“Thanks to the attention of the doctors and nurses at St. Elizabeth, he has been provided skilled care that is leading him on the road to recovery,” the statement said.
The statement thanked first responders and medical workers who have treated Bunning and asked for privacy.
