Teresa Heinz Kerry, the wife of Secretary of State John Kerry, made her first public appearance since suffering a seizure in July.
Heinz Kerry was seated in the row behind her husband as he testified Tuesday at a Senate hearing on Syria. The secretary of state and the chairman of the committee, Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey, both commented on her presence.
The 74-year-old Heinz Kerry suffered a seizure at the couple's Nantucket home July 7. She was treated at a Nantucket hospital and another in Boston before being released three weeks later.
