Rev. Jesse Jackson is currently receiving a form of life support as his condition worsens in a Chicago hospital, according to reports from CBS News and CNN.
Sources tell CBS News that the 84-year-old civil rights leader has been on medication for several days to keep his blood pressure stable. Doctors are now attempting to wean him off these drugs, but his overall condition is reportedly weakening.
Jackson is experiencing occasional moments of awareness, though these windows have become less frequent over time. In response, family and friends are flying into Chicago to be by his side during this difficult time.
