Hospitalized Sen. John Fetterman is “on a path to recovery” after checking himself into a hospital for clinical depression earlier this month, his office said.

But this week he’s recovering alone.

According to reports, Fetterman’s wife and children fled the country and are staying in Canada to escape media scrutiny.

“I am not really sure how to navigate this journey but am figuring it out slowly. 1 week ago today when the news dropped, the kids were off from school and media trucks circled our home,” Fetterman’s wife, Gisele, announced on social media.

Gisele Fetterman said she always had her and her children’s passports ready “in case you have to run away.”

“I did the first thing I could think of … pack them in the car and drive,” she said abotu her husband’s hospitalization. “We drove straight into … Canada.”

While he remains hospitalized, Fetterman’s wife said she was spending time touring Niagara Falls and zip-lining with her children.

Fetterman is expected to remain away from the Senate for weeks, and a spokesman for the Pennsylvania Democrat said there’s no update on his condition.

“We understand the intense interest in John’s status and especially appreciate the flood of well-wishes,” Fetterman’s communications director, Joe Calvello, said in a statement Monday afternoon. “However, as we have said this will be a weeks-long process and while we will be sure to keep folks updated as it progresses, this is all there is to give by way of an update.”

Fetterman is being treated at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, where he checked in Feb. 15 as he was still struggling with the aftereffects of a near-fatal stroke. His office said at the time that he had experienced depression “off and on throughout his life,” but it had only become severe in recent weeks. Capitol Physician Brian P. Monahan recommended his hospitalization after an evaluation, his office said then.

Fetterman, 53, suffered the stroke last May as he was campaigning in a tough Senate race against GOP nominee Dr. Mehmet Oz. Despite numerous struggles on the campaign trail — including a disastrous debate performance — he won the election in November and was sworn in Jan. 3, giving Democrats an extra seat in the Senate and a 51-49 majority.

His office has since warned the brain damage Fetterman suffered may be permanent. One of stroke’s main aftereffects is auditory processing disorder, which can render someone unable to speak coherently and leaves them unable to process spoken words into meaning. Fetterman reportedly hears voices like Charlie Brown’s teacher in “Peanuts.”

Fetterman uses computers to help him understand conversations, meetings, and congressional hearings. The machines transcribe spoken words in real time.

Post-stroke depression is common, with one in three stroke patients suffering from it, and is treatable through antidepressant medication and counseling, doctors say.

Pennsylvania’s other senator, Democrat Bob Casey, returned to the Senate on Monday. He had also been away in recent weeks after he underwent surgery for prostate cancer.
