Doctors from the Office of the Attending Physician, or OAP, are meeting with the 84-year-old senator at a rehab facility every day, “discussing all aspects of his rehabilitation care,” the office said in a statement shared by McConnell’s staff in a press release.

The release also included a written statement from McConnell, apologizing for being unable to make it to an annual Kentucky picnic next Saturday.

The update also included a photo of McConnell and his wife, Elaine Chao, with a caption dated Sunday.

“He is not yet medically cleared to leave the rehab facility and return to the office,” OAP said.
