Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr.'s wife, Jacqueline, was released from the hospital Sept. 3 after being treated for symptoms of COVID-19 along with the minister, NBC Chicago reported.
"Our mother is leaving the Northwestern Memorial Hospital and coming home," one of their sons, Jonathan Jackson, said in a statement. "Our family is grateful to God and the medical team that treated her and that is allowing her body to continue to heal from the COVID-19 virus."
Jacqueline Jackson has not been vaccinated, longtime family spokesman Frank Watkins previously said.
Jesse Jackson has since moved to the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab and is continuing to receive intensive therapy for his Parkinson's disease.
The couple, married nearly 60 years, were admitted to the hospital with COVID-19, family members announced Aug. 21. |
