NextImg:Republican Senator Suffers Brain Bleed After Falling On Ice During Seizure

Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-ND) is recovering after suffering from a brain bleed he sustained when he fell on ice while experiencing a seizure.

“Late yesterday afternoon, I walked to my backyard intending to retrieve a piece of conduit which came off my dock and was laying on the ice,” the 64-year-old wrote on social media on Monday night. “While walking on the hill down to the dock, I stepped on ice and evidently fell hard, hitting the back of my head.”

In the post — which included a photo that showed blood from where he hit his head on the ice — Cramer said that he had a CT scan and was diagnosed “with a severe concussion, a seizure, and a slight brain bleed.”

“The wound on my head wouldn’t stop oozing, so the doctor punched a couple of staples on the laceration and admitted me,” he added. “I had a good night sleep before getting a second CT Scan. I am better today with only a slight brain bleed and pretty bad headaches.”

He said that his wife regularly sends tips to the family in group texts of how to take care of their brains and that he needed to listen to her more.

In a subsequent post, he said that he was “recovering at home with a bottle of Kepra (anti-seizure medicine) and Kris.”

“The head still hurts a bit, but I sleep a lot,” he added. “Thank you to all of the folks praying for a full recovery. God is good!”

President Donald Trump released a statement on Tuesday night expressing well wishes for Cramer.

“Our Great Senator from North Dakota, Senator Kevin Cramer, just recently slipped on ice, and hit his head, causing quite an injury,” Trump posted on social media.

“He is now resting comfortably, but went through a lot,” Trump added. “His wonderful wife, Kris, is with him, and I’m sure he will be fine, but it was a close call! Get well soon Kevin, and thank you to Kris for her quick and very alert response to Kevin’s difficult moment!”
