Shriver family called to hospital

Relatives of Eunice Kennedy Shriver, a sister of President Kennedy, were summoned Monday to a hospital on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, a source close to the family told CNN.

Shriver, 88, founder of the Special Olympics, has been in the hospital for several days, her family said, and her relatives were summoned after she suffered a setback, the source said.

Some members of the family flew in to Cape Cod Hospital last week to be with Shriver, including her daughter, Maria Shriver, and Maria’s husband, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, a source said earlier. She was in critical condition then.

Eunice Shriver is the founder and honorary chairwoman of the Special Olympics, which helps 3 million people with intellectual disabilities in 170 countries around the world.
