Calif. gov: Eunice Shriver recovering
5 minutes ago
SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Eunice Kennedy Shriver is defying her doctors' predictions as she recovers from a series of strokes, said her son-in-law, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Shriver's family was told she would "never speak again" because of damage caused by the strokes, the governor said, but the 85-year-old Shriver has proven her doctors wrong, Schwarzenegger said Sunday.
"Of course, she prays every day and goes to church every day, and her prayers were answered, and she's speaking again fluently and is screaming at me again," Schwarzenegger said at a dinner honoring the Rev. Frederick Murph of Brookins Community AME Church in Los Angeles.
The church also honored Shriver — the sister of President John F. Kennedy and Sen. Edward Kennedy, and the mother of Schwarzenegger's wife, Maria Shriver — for her work in founding the Special Olympics in 1968.
