An aide to Barack Obama has announced that Sen. Obama will fly to Hawaii on Thursday to visit his ailing grandmother, Madelyn Dunham. Dunham, who raised Obama, would be 86 years old this Sunday. She is reportedly very ill. From Reuters:"Recently his grandmother has become ill and in the last few weeks her health has deteriorated to the point where her situation is very serious," said Obama aide Robert Gibbs.
A Thursday noontime rally featuring Sen. Obama in Madison, Wisconsin has been canceled, as has an event in Des Moines, Iowa to allow Obama to travel to spend time with his grandmother.
Senator Obama will reportedly return to campaigning on Saturday.
