(North Dakota Monitor) -State Rep. Jim Kasper, R-Fargo, returned to Fargo on May 8 to continue his recovery after being hospitalized during the closing days of the legislative session.
Republican District 46 Chair Rob Muntz said Kasper suffered a brain bleed on April 23 and was transported to CHI-St. Alexius Medical Center in Bismarck, where he stayed until Thursday.
Muntz said Kasper will continue his rehab at the PAM Health Rehabilitation Hospital in south Fargo.
“Jim is ready to work hard to get better. He is getting stronger day by day,” said Sandy Kasper, Kasper’s wife, in a statement. “He has a long way to go, but we are starting to see signs of the old Jim.”
