Lana Clay, who thrills General Hospital fans on social media with adorable photos and videos of Joey and Jay Clay, the twin boys who bring Ace Cassadine to life, has been hospitalized with sepsis following surgery a few weeks back.
Lana's husband, Mark, shared the news of her illness on the family's social media accounts on Saturday, February 17, saying, "I wanted to share that Lana was admitted yesterday to the ICU with sepsis and critically low blood pressure. She is awake but very sick. Lana's strength and transparency have always inspired us, and we're rallying around her during this challenge that she will beat!"
Thankfully, Lana was able to post by Sunday, offering an update on her condition.
"Just wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude for all the love and support pouring in," she wrote. "Mark has been incredibly helpful in managing everything on my behalf. My blood pressure is showing improvement. I have moved off the ICU floor. However, I'm facing two significant challenges at the moment, and although I'm not ready to discuss them yet, your understanding means the world to me. Right now, I'm feeling quite tired and weak, undergoing numerous blood tests and taking plenty of medication."
Lana, a childhood cancer survivor who recently had surgery for an abscess following the discovery of a benign breast cyst, remained hopeful that she will be home soon.
"I can't wait to be back home with Joey, Jay, and my beloved bulldogs," she posted. "Your support gives me strength, and I miss you all dearly, from our General Hospital fans to our neighbors, family, USC pals, bulldog friends, and beyond."
