“I am doing much better thanks to the excellent medical care and rehabilitation services I have received," Isakson said in a statement. "I’m looking forward to sleeping in my own bed and will remain focused on making a full recovery so I can get back to work. All of the thoughtful messages of support have kept my spirits high, and I thank everyone who has lifted me up during this time.”
Isakson has been receiving treatment at WellStar Kennestone Hospital in Marietta. He expects to be well enough to return to Washington later this summer.
