Love Across Borders

In a heartfelt Instagram post, Ashley Park, renowned for her role as Mindy Chen in Netflix’s “Emily In Paris,” opened up about her daunting battle with critical septic shock. This health crisis, originating from what seemed to be harmless tonsillitis, occurred during her December holiday.

The Onset of the Crisis

Park detailed how the seemingly benign tonsillitis escalated drastically, affecting multiple organs and necessitating a week-long intensive care stay across three overseas hospitals.

The Road to Recovery

Park expressed deep gratitude for the overwhelming support she received during this challenging time. She gave a special mention to her co-star, Paul Forman, acknowledging their relationship and his unwavering support throughout the ordeal. She shared the hurdles they overcame together navigating ambulances, foreign medical systems, a week in ICU, and moments of intense pain, all while being away from familiar surroundings.

A Tribute to the Caregivers

In her message, Park paid tribute to the medical professionals who worked relentlessly on her case. She also appreciated her personal team back home for handling logistical matters, including insurance calls and facilitating communication between her, her parents, and doctors.

Gratitude and Hope

Despite her initial reluctance to share her experience during her ongoing recovery, Park expressed her gratitude for the positive progress in her health. She reassured her followers of her healing journey, promising them that she would recover fully.

Support from the “Emily In Paris” Family

Lily Collins, Park’s co-star from “Emily In Paris,” responded to the post, expressing her relief at Park’s recovery and gratitude for Forman’s steadfast support. She ended her message with the hope of sharing a comforting hug soon.
