Gov. Snyder Being Treated for Blood Clot

Michigan Public Radio Network

Governor Rick Snyder’s schedule has been cleared after he was suddenly admitted to a hospital in Ann Arbor today.

“He was admitted to the hospital and is currently receiving treatment for a blood clot in his leg, part of the lingering effect of his Achilles injury," says Snyder spokesperson Dave Murry. Governor Snyder is in good health and he is in very good hands.”

The governor has had to keep his leg largely immobile for several weeks since he tore a tendon.

Murray says the governor is awake and working with staff in his hospital room. The governor’s travel will be sharply curtailed, but Murray says he still intends to personally present his budget to the Legislature next Wednesday.
