BOSTON, Massachusetts (CNN) - Doctors at Massachusetts General Hospital Sunday were trying to determine the cause of Sen. Edward Kennedy's seizure.
Medical officials said the 76-year-old Democratic icon was in serious condition but seemed to be out of any "immediate danger."
Preliminary tests Saturday night determined Kennedy had not suffered a stroke, a physician at the hospital said.
Kennedy was flown to the hospital on a medical jet Saturday.
"Over the next couple of days, Sen. Kennedy will undergo further evaluation to determine the cause of the seizure, and a course of treatment will be determined at that time," said Dr. Larry Ronan, Kennedy's primary care physician. He added that Kennedy was "resting comfortably and watching the Red Sox game with his family."
Doctors offered no update Sunday morning.

All that guilt from Chappaquiddick finally caught up
I wish Sen. Kennedy a speedy and full recovery. And I must add that it was shameful that the news media used the event to have Bill Schneider air what amounted to a free ad for Obama.
Get well Sen Ted, this country and government still can use your help.
WISH A SPEEDY RECOVERY TO A GREAT FIGHTER FOR CIVIL RIGHTS AND LIBERTY. HE IS THE ESSENCE OF AMERICA.
GOD BLESS!
kennedy "FAKED" the spell because obama and his supports had their feet in their mouth.
Fred,
I didn't even mention your name because I forgot. The link that you have is a pure consevative website that no Democrate, Hillary or Obama supporter would suscribe to. If Hillary was the frontrunner you can be sure that all of their attention and articles would be about her. Are you sure your name isnt' Kevin James? That's the right wing windbag that got embarrased by Chisr Matthews. Get LOST! Aslo, no one as old as you are claiming to be would use LMAO.
Maybe Mary Jo was calling for him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's about time.
I hope Senator Kennedy get well soon. If it's not a stroke could it be malnutrition?
Word has it that Ted is working on a 3rd liter of vodka via his IV.
To all of you Senator Kennedy bashers you should be reflecting on your sad existence. This man does more for the human race in one week then you'll do in all your pathetic life.
Maybe his crush on obama became a bit too much?
it's about time this old rustbag kicked it.
OH and for all of you here insulting hillary or her supporters, every time you do it you seal the deal that the pary will be divided in november. your arrogant stupid insults are whats splitting the party, not clnton.
