CNN —Ashley Park is focusing on being “grateful” after experiencing a serious medical scare over the holidays.
“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,” the “Emily in Paris” actor, 32, wrote on her verified Instagram on Friday.
When affected by sepsis, the body essentially overreacts to an infection, which can cause organs to shut down.
Both sepsis and septic shock require immediate treatment.
In the comments section under Park’s post, Collins wrote that she “can hardly look at these without crying,” adding that she’s “forever grateful” Park is on the mend.
