Greg Vaughan (Eric Brady, Days of Our Lives), who is beloved in the hearts of soap fans across the globe, took to social media to share news of his health scare.
In his post on Instagram, Greg Vaughan began, “Life is like a box of chocolates, “you never know whatcha gonna get!” I’ve said more than a few times, I truly feel like I work & live in a Soap Opera! This trip was nothing short of another great Vaughan adventure!“
Vaughan shared the story of what went down, “Father & Sons Colorado Spring Break! Here it goes! I was feeling somewhat tired after 1 day, experiencing shortness of breath climbing a few flights of stairs, wheezy, some congestion after some cold snowy conditions, and a headache developing. I had hydrated all day, so into the night I drank a bottle of Pedialyte and NyQuil’d myself out for the night to be ready to tackle BRECK w/the boys the next morning!”
Greg Vaughan Shares Health Scare!
Greg Vaughan went on to say, “Unfortunately, it was a night of tossing, turning, no sleep, coughing, dry heaving & my head felt like it was in a walnut cracker! Disappointedly, morning arrived & I had to tell my boys, plus our friends who just arrived, I was staying home to rest & be my best for our final days to come! To which only got worse as the day went on! I was mentally spinning trying not to think of having another horrible night or losing another day w/ my boys … but I did.
Two full days gone, enough was enough, I finally surrendered & went to urgent care and to my shock I learned that I was experiencing severe altitude sickness! My Blood Oxygen was at 54% & my lungs were full of fluids! Blood oxygen, also known as oxygen saturation, represents the percentage of hemoglobin in your red blood cells that is carrying oxygen. Most people have an oxygen level of 95-100%….”
On the Mend!
Many of Greg Vaughan’s colleagues in the business and fans alike came in with their well wishes and good thoughts in the comment section of his post. Vaughan later provided an update: “Well, 4hrs later, a couple of bags of IV & oxygen tank strapped to my face, I was told that I needed to immediately get off the mountain! However I couldn’t, we still had another day to go & wanting the boys to enjoy their last day on the hill tops! I opted to go home with an oxygen tank, a good laugh for everyone, and I know will follow, but my boys looked after their old man & fortunately they had friends on this trip!“
We are thrilled to hear he is already on the mend.
