WILMINGTON, Del. – Beau Biden, the Delaware attorney general and the son of Vice-President Joe Biden, is undergoing medical testing in Texas after being hospitalized last week for weakness and disorientation, his office said Monday night.
The younger Biden, who suffered a mild stroke in 2010, began experiencing the new symptoms last Wednesday night after driving to Indiana for a family vacation, said Jason Miller, a spokesman for the Delaware Department of Justice.
Biden, 44, was admitted to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago and travelled the next morning to Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia to consult with his doctor.
He was discharged and spent the weekend at home in Wilmington. Miller said Biden currently is undergoing testing in Houston to determine the cause of his symptoms.
The White House says the vice-president, who had been at his home in Delaware for the past several days, accompanied his son to Houston. There was no word on how long Vice-President Biden would remain in Texas.
Miller said Beau Biden spoke by telephone with Chief Deputy Attorney General Ian McConnel over the weekend, and had been in touch with his office Monday evening.
