FIGHTING AN INFECTION
She was bedridden after leaving the hospital. The star took a couple of weeks before she could walk around again and she had to undergo physical therapy several times a day.
Her illness was related to an infection she fought in December 2019 and January 2020. Ferrell had been in ICU for a couple of days when she suddenly went into cardiac arrest.

HUSBAND CAN’T VISIT HER
However, the star can't talk or communicate with anyone. Anderson hasn’t been able to see his wife because of the novel coronavirus disease restrictions at the facility.

RECOVERY WILL TAKE TIME
Her husband was, however, communicating frequently with his wife’s nurse. Ferrell is not suffering from COVID-19, her husband gave an update on her health saying:
"It's going to be a while before there's any recovery. It's all neurological.”
Wishing and praying for Conchata Ferrell’s speedy recovery. One of my first jobs was the tv movie Amy and Isabelle. She was a light. A beautiful spirit. It was one of my finest memories. Love you Conchata.❤https://t.co/ELBPNZVd5E

FERRELL’S KIDNEY INFECTION
Anderson sadly shared how there was nothing they could do to speed up her healing and all they could do for now was to hope “for the best." In February 2020, Ferrell had revealed that she’d been hospitalized in Charleston, West Virginia in December for a kidney infection.
GOING INTO TRANSITIONAL CARE
She had been living in the area at her vacation home since Thanksgiving. The infection, unfortunately, ended spreading and her blood was contaminated.
After spending weeks in the ICU, she was released in January 2020 and put into transitional care.
