Alana Stewart, the ex-wife of Rod Stewart, has been hospitalized due to a serious health issue. The 80-year-old actress is currently battling a persistent lung infection and has been on various antibiotics in an attempt to combat the illness.
It’s believed that she first contracted the infection after being diagnosed with COVID.
On October 7, Alana took to Instagram to post a brief video updating her 116,000 followers about her health condition.
From the hospital’s garden, she shared: “I’ve been getting IV antibiotics for this infection I’ve had in my lungs for a really long time.
“I’ve been on every kind of oral antibiotic, and it hasn’t gotten rid of it. So now I’m doing two weeks of IV antibiotics. I can’t say that it’s fun, but I’m really hoping that this is going to work, and I’m going to feel 100 per cent great and healthy again.”
“I’m grateful to the doctors and nurses here who have all been so nice, and I’m hoping for a speedy recovery.”
Her post quickly garnered attention from her dedicated followers, including legendary actress Joan Collins, who ‘liked’ the update.
One fan wrote: “Oh, Alana, wishing you a full recovery! Hopefully the antibiotic drip will get rid of your infection soon!” Another added: “I’m glad you posted so your friends and followers can pray for you to get better… praying for your recovery.”
A third commented, “I’m so sorry you’re not feeling so good, Alana. You’re such a lovely, kind lady. Rest is best for recovery. I wish everything goes well. Beautiful gardens. I will be thinking and praying for you.”
A fourth said, “You look beautiful. I would never guess you were sick!! God speed your healing, Alana.”
This hospital visit comes less than a month after she disclosed that she had been battling Covid at the start of September.
In a separate post shared on September 6, the TV star explained: “I’ve been MIA this past week because I came down with Covid on Monday. Ugh! It seems to be going around again.
“I’ve been slowly getting better. I’m getting an IV of fluids and vitamins. COVID always scares me because things have a tendency to go into my lungs and turn into bronchitis or, God forbid, pneumonia.
“I’m told the best thing to do for anyone who gets it (as long as it’s a mild case) is lots of rest, fluids, and the right supplements. Keep you posted. Stay well, everyone!”.
Ms Stewart married Rod in 1979, but they ended their marriage after five years in 1984. They have two children together: daughter Kimberly Stewart, 46, and son Sean Stewart, 45.
