Kiel, who will undergo additional tests over the coming days, says she hopes to return to St. Paul next week.

"In the meantime, my office is open for business and here to help with any constituent needs. I want to thank the excellent neurology team at Region's for their excellent care and quick work that likely saved me from any long-term effects as a result of the stroke," she said.
