Senator Ted Kennedy was released from a Massachusetts hospital on Friday after suffering a mild seizure.

Doctors believe the incident was triggered by a change in medication. Senator Kennedy will return home tonight and looks forward to watching the debate," said a statement from the office of the 76-year-old Massachusetts Democrat, referring to the presidential candidates' debate between Republican John McCain and Democrat Barack Obama on Friday night.

As per that statement, Senator Kennedy was released from the hospital late last night.

"Senator Kennedy experienced a mild seizure at home in Hyannis Port today and was taken to Cape Cod Hospital for examination," according to the statement from Kennedy, who was diagnosed with brain cancer in May.

Despite the fact that he is struggling with cancer, that hasn't kept Ted Kennedy out of Washington. He even returned to Capitol Hill on July 9 to cast a tiebreaking Senate vote on a Medicare health bill.
