Beau Biden, the Delaware attorney general and the son of Vice President Joe Biden, underwent a “successful procedure” on Tuesday, the Bidens said in a statement.

Biden, who was under evaluation at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, is in “great shape” and will be discharged Thursday, according to the statement. “He will follow up with his local physicians in the coming weeks,” the Bidens added.

The attorney general felt weak and disoriented last week while on a family vacation.

Full statement from the White House below:

Yesterday our son Beau underwent a successful procedure. He is in great shape and is going to be discharged tomorrow and heading home to Delaware. He will follow up with his local physicians in the coming weeks.
