Lexi Reed Faces Life-and-Death Situation Amid Mysterious Illness; Suffers 312 lbs Weight Loss
Lexi Reed is now making her 1.2 million followers worry as her health suddenly deteriorated after losing weight and committing to a healthier lifestyle.
Reed's fans learned about the influencer's heartbreaking state after her husband, Danny, shared the news on her Instagram page. He revealed that the lifestyle influencer kept getting sick a few weeks ago. She also reportedly could not consume any food.
"She then started acting differently, so I took her to the hospital where they admitted her into ICU, placed on a medically induced [coma], on a ventilator, and [told] me that her organs started failing," he said.
The doctors also told him that Reed could have died if he had waited for another day before taking her to the hospital.
Danny then disclosed further updates regarding her health status, saying that Reed currently undergoes dialysis. Although she is working on recovery, she reportedly still cannot walk.
Following the latest update, fans showered her with get well soon messages. Others also suggested having a GoFundMe page to support her in her medical fees.
One said, "Let's get the donations going, y'all!! I've been following for 4.5 years and would love to support her and the family."
"This is why health care should be a right, something we all have access to. Everyone has the right to access life saving measures. Healthcare for all today!" another added. "Sending you all energies. I'm so sorry for this setback. It seems terribly difficult, but I'm glad you have each other and family."
