Aman indicated Kennedy had been taken off a ventilator, talked to people and responded to neurologists’ commands to move his limbs.

Kennedy suffered the heart attack on Thursday, December 28 and was rushed from his home to a local hospital.

The WorldNetDaily (WND) story said that prayers for Kennedy’s recovery from fellow Christian leaders are being echoed across the U.S.
