"The realization has set in that this is likely Ted's last birthday and it's brought an outpouring of emotion in the closely-knit family of which Ted is the patriarch," a close source told RadarOnline.com.
"As Ted has fallen into a weak and deteriorating condition, Vicki has asked family members to keep his birthday 'low key,' but with the Kennedys that is unlikely to happen."
