Ashley Park revealed she went into “critical septic shock” while vacationing in the Maldives with her Emily in Paris costar and boyfriend, Paul Forman. The health scare happened over the New Year holiday, according to an Instagram post Park shared on January 19.
“While on holiday in December into New Years, what started as tonsillitis spiraled into critical septic shock, which infected and affected several of my organs,” she captioned a series of photos and clips chronicling her hospital stay. “I am grateful that my health has improved despite what we had initially been told.”
The Broadway entertainer expressed gratitude first to Forman for supporting her “unconditionally” in recovery.
“You calmed my fears and held me through ambulances, three foreign hospitals, a week in the ICU, scary ERs, countless scans and tests and injections, excruciating pain, and so much confusion all while we were alone on the other side of the world far from those we know,” she wrote. “I love you Paul. More than I can ever say.”
