Ashley Park recovers with 'Emily in Paris' co-star Paul Forman by her side

The "Joy Ride" star shared several photos of herself in a hospital bed on Instagram on Jan. 19, revealing she became seriously ill 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," she said. "I am grateful that my health has improved despite what we had initially been told."

Park said she went to "three foreign hospitals," spent a week in the intensive care unit and underwent "countless scans and tests and injections, excruciating pain, and so much confusion all while we were alone on the other side of the world far from those we know."

She thanked Paul Forman, her co-star in Netflix's "Emily in Paris," for being "unconditionally by my side" throughout the ordeal. "I love you Paul," she wrote. "More than I can ever say."

According to the Cleveland Clinic, septic shock is a life-threatening condition that can occur when an infection causes low blood pressure and organ failure. The most severe stage of sepsis, it can lead to brain damage, lung failure, heart failure, kidney failure, gangrene and death, the clinic says.
