BOSTON, May 19 (UPI) -- Test results shedding light on what caused U.S. Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., to have a seizure should be known soon, doctors in Boston said.

Kennedy's doctor said it would be until at least Monday before tests would provide information about the senator's health after he suffered a seizure during the weekend, The Boston Globe reported. Kennedy's staff didn't indicate when the results would be made public.

The Kennedy family patriarch watched baseball and movies from his hospital bed Sunday and fielded calls from Senate colleagues, the newspaper reported.

"He sounded great. He sounded like the Ted Kennedy we know and love", Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., on the campaign trail in Oregon, said of his phone conversation with Kennedy. "He joked a little bit about (how) this happens when you get an old politician going out there on the road."

Kennedy was flown Saturday from Hyannis Port to the hospital in Boston after suffering what was first thought to be a stroke but later determined to be a seizure.
