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.

GOING INTO CARDIAC ARREST

Anderson shared how the episode lasted for around 10 minutes. The actress is now in the respiratory unit at a treatment center.

She is sadly on a respirator and receiving dialysis. Ferrell was said to be stable and semi-conscious, as she's kind of aware of her surroundings.

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.”

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.
