We learned that Heidi's daughter, Malia is very sick. She wrote: We are in & have been at the ICU w.Maliya at University of Missouri Columbia since Fri afternoon. Maliya was med flighted here from a smaller hospital in Missouri after getting sick on vacation w/her dad. Maliya is doing better…they figured out which bacteria to treat yesterday & are going after it aggressively. She had a throat infection that then released a very rare bacteria into her bloodstream & it started attacking her organs making her septic (septic shock). Her body & organs were shutting down, she was on oxygen, super low blood pressure, etc.. She has what’s called Lemierre’s syndrome. About 1 in a million people get this. The docs & nurses here have been fantastic. We will be here possibly until the end of the wk... They are treating her w/blood thinners now because she has a clot in a neck artery-characteristic of how this bacteria works. She will have about a month of antibiotics at home, continued follow up, etc. She’s in good spirits & thank goodness she’s ok & a fighter. Scariest few days of my life…and one day at a time. Hugs & love❤️
