Perez Hilton ‘should be dead.’
The well-known blogger, who often publishes gossip, recently spent three weeks fighting a serious infection called sepsis. Disturbing photos from his hospital stay reveal the 48-year-old looking very thin and pale, connected to multiple medical devices.
He believed, a source now exclusively tells the Daily Mail, that it was the end of the line.
According to a source who spoke with the Daily Mail, he was shocked by the situation, as he’d always been healthy and never imagined finding himself in this predicament.
After a difficult few weeks, he’s especially grateful to be celebrating his birthday today. It’s being seen as a turning point, considering how close he came to losing his life.
He truly thought he was going to die, and at one point, expected it. But surprisingly, he survived and now has a fresh start – something he desperately needed.
He’s excited about the year ahead and eager to make positive changes, both for his own life and for the sake of his children, according to a source.
Hilton, dad to Mario Lavandeira III, Mia, and Mayte Amor, kept quiet about why he was hospitalized in Las Vegas’ Southern Hills Hospital, only sharing concerned-looking selfies on Instagram over the weekend.
The popular blogger revealed on Monday that his recent 21-day hospital stay was a result of his own mistakes, but he also described it as both the most difficult and most positive experience of his life.
Paris Hilton revealed she had the flu and described it as a particularly bad case. In a YouTube livestream on February 26th, she said she was feeling ‘exceptionally sick’ and experiencing constant fevers, calling it ‘the worst flu of my life’.
But it wasn’t the influenza that apparently nearly killed him.
He explained that after a week of taking his medication on an empty stomach, he developed an ulcer which then turned into a perforation, ultimately leading to sepsis. He emphasized that sepsis can be fatal.
Sepsis is a dangerous condition that claims the lives of approximately 350,000 adults in the US each year, either during their hospital stay or after being discharged to hospice care, as reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Hilton suffered severe stomach pain that prevented him from walking, so he had to be taken to the hospital by ambulance. Doctors then performed minimally invasive surgery to address the issue.
The infection was severe and caused fluid to build up in his lungs, requiring another medical procedure. He also began experiencing heart problems around this time.
He explained the infection was severe and caused fluid to build up in his lungs, requiring another significant medical procedure. Following that, he experienced a heart issue and then developed a second infection.
In a video posted online, Hilton became emotional and cried while describing the numerous medical issues he faced after beginning to eat again following weeks of being fed through a tube. He said the most difficult part of his recovery was having a drainage tube inserted to treat an infection, along with a urinary catheter.
He described the experience as very difficult, saying he lost a significant amount of weight. Now that he’s back home, he admits he’s still not fully recovered.
After being hospitalized, Hilton feels like he’s been given a second chance at life and has developed a strong faith in God.
The blogger, who grew up Catholic, shared that a spiritual experience during a hospital stay led him to start taking his children to church and send them to a religious school.
Hilton shared that a deeply personal experience with God occurred before he received his diagnosis. He described it as something miraculous and genuinely real.
