Per Fox News:
Steve Silverman, speaking outside one of Pugh’s residences which was raided by the FBI and IRS earlier in the day, said the embattled city leader could make a decision as early as next week.
Silverman said Pugh met with a doctor at home Thursday and plans to do so again Friday, the Baltimore Sun reported.
Pugh has made no public appearances since announcing a leave of absence nearly a month ago after being diagnosed with pneumonia.
Her condition has reportedly not improved.
