The actress was hospitalized with septic shock and posted on Instagram that, what started as tonsillitis spiraled into critical septic shock in December.
Sepsis is a serious condition that happens when the body’s immune system has an extreme response to an infection. The body’s reaction causes damage to its tissues and organs.
She said it “infected and affected several of her organs” and she spent a week in the ICU. Park’s post also confirmed her relationship with her on-screen boyfriend, actor Paul Forman.
She wrote: Grateful most of all to @peforman for being unconditionally by my side through all this.
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. “I love you, Paul. More than I can ever say.
Forman replied, saying: “My love” and uploaded his photos of pictures of them together with the caption: “By your side no matter what”.
Park, who originated the role of Gretchen Wieners in the Broadway version of Mean Girls, recently made an appearance as Cady Heron’s French teacher in the new movie. However, she notably had not attended the premiere.
Thanks for reading this. I’m sorry for being so absent recently to so much and people in my life. I love you all. I’m healing, she assured, “and I promise I’m gonna be okay.
