Her husband remains hospitalized at a rehab center, the family said in a statement.
“Our mother leaves Northwestern Memorial Hospital and returns home,” Jackson’s son Jonathan said in a written statement. “Our family is grateful to God and the medical team who cared for her and allows her body to continue to be cured of the Covid-19 virus.”
A family spokeswoman confirmed to CNN on Friday night that 77-year-old Jacqueline Jackson had arrived home.
“Our father stays at The Shirley Ryan AbilityLab, where he continues to receive intensive occupational and physical therapy,” Jonathan Jackson said. “We urge anyone who has not yet been vaccinated for the Covid-19 virus to do so immediately.”
The couple were hospitalized last month at the Northwestern Memorial in Chicago. The 79-year-old Reverend was later taken to a rehabilitation hospital to focus on treating his Parkinson’s disease.
Jackson received his first dose of Covid-19 vaccine in January at an event to promote African American confidence in vaccinations, according to a statement from the Rainbow PUSH Coalition.
Due to the more dangerous nature of the Delta variant, advanced infections have been reported for vaccinated individuals, mainly among the elderly or immunocompromised.
In February, the civil rights leader was successfully operated on after being hospitalized for abdominal discomfort. In 2017 he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, an untreated neurological disorder.
