Kitty Dukakis Leaves Hospital
The wife of Democratic presidential candidate Michael S. Dukakis left the University of Minnesota Hospital today and headed to Chicago to rejoin her husband on the campaign trail and help celebrate his 55th birthday by marching in a torchlight parade with him.
Kitty Dukakis spent three nights at the hospital for a viral infection and a sinus problem. Doctors kept her in the hospital Wednesday night to check her progress after intravenous medication was discontinued. She received “flowers and greetings and telegrams from across the country,” her spokesman, Paul Costello, said, including wishes from Leonard Bernstein and Muriel Humphrey Brown.
