North Dakota Supreme Court justice rehospitalized
North Dakota’s longest-serving Supreme Court justice is back in the hospital amid his recovery from COVID-19.
Justice Gerald VandeWalle, 87, was released from Sanford Health Bismarck’s COVID-19 unit a week ago to undergo rehabilitation to regain his strength. He was rehospitalized Monday following a chest X-ray at the hospital.
“There was a little clot in my lung, and I think that was troublesome to them, and I’m short of breath, and that’s it, but that’s a lot,” VandeWalle said by phone Friday from his room. He is being treated with a blood thinner.
