| Description | CHICAGO – Representative Jesse L. Jackson Jr., a Democrat from Illinois who has been on a leave of absence from Congress since early last month, is dealing with a medical condition more serious than initially disclosed, his representatives said on Thursday.
A statement from Mr. Jackson’s office gave few particulars about his condition, but it noted that he was undergoing “further evaluation and treatment at an in-patient medical facility.”
“Recently, we have been made aware that he has grappled with certain physical and emotional ailments privately for a long period of time,” read the statement from Frank E. Watkins, the director of communications for Mr. Jackson’s office in Washington.
It also said, “According to the preliminary diagnosis from his doctors, Congressman Jackson will need to receive extended in-patient treatment as well as continuing medical treatment thereafter.” |
