Joe Biden's son undergoes tests at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston
Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden, son of Vice President Joe Biden, is in Houston undergoing medical tests after he was hospitalized last week.
Although an M.D. Anderson Cancer Center spokeswoman declined to confirm or deny if Beau Biden is a patient at the world renowned cancer center, CultureMap has learned that Biden, 44, is currently in the facility.
The White House confirms that the vice president traveled to Houston and will stay with his son through Tuesday. As of Monday, Joe Biden planned to keep his scheduled appearance with President Obama in Scranton, Penn., later this week.
D'Amico's Italian Market Cafe in Rice Village posted a photo of father and son with owner Nash D'Amico that was taken after they dined there Monday night.
Beau Biden was admitted to Northwest University Hospital in Chicago last week after suffering weakness and disorientation. After consulting with his physician at Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia, Delaware Department of Justice spokesman Jason Miller confirmed that he traveled to Houston for medical tests.
Biden, who has served as Delaware's Attorney General since 2007, suffered a mild stroke in 2010.
Tuesday morning, Beau Biden tweeted a photo of him with his wife in Houston.
Touched by all your well wishes--thank you. Nice evening in Houston w/ Hallie; will share update when we have it. -bb pic.twitter.com/n1iT7oUHHM
