Alana Stewart Battles Stubborn Lung Infection After COVID Recovery
ROD STEWART'S EX-WIFE ALANA STUART HOSPITALIZED WITH "STUBBORN" LUNG INFECTION
In a shocking turn of events, Rod Stewart's ex-wife Alana Stewart has been hospitalized with a stubborn lung infection that just won't quit! The 80-year-old former model and actress was rushed to UCLA Santa Monica hospital last month after battling Covid-19, but it seems the lingering respiratory symptoms have taken a turn for the worse.
Alana, who shares two children with Rod - Kimberly Stewart, 46, and Sean Stewart, 45 - has been undergoing IV antibiotic treatment for the past two weeks. But in a candid Instagram update from the hospital's serene meditation garden, she revealed that oral medication had failed to clear up the infection, leading her doctors to recommend intravenous treatment.
"I've been getting IV antibiotics for this infection I've had in my lungs for a really long time," Alana shared with her fans, who were quick to express their concern and support. "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."
Despite the hospitalization being a far cry from her glamorous lifestyle, Alana remained upbeat in her video update, showcasing the tranquil surroundings of the hospital's garden. She even took time to appreciate the changing foliage, telling fans: "There's beautiful trees and some of the trees are starting to turn... so we get a real feeling of fall, and there's beautiful places to sit."
But what's behind this stubborn lung infection? Alana has been tight-lipped about whether it was caused by Covid-19, but her 2022 admission on social media reveals she was still susceptible to the virus despite being "up-to-date" with vaccines. It remains unclear if she had received any subsequent booster shots.
This isn't the first time Alana has battled respiratory issues since contracting Covid-19 in Florida last month. In a series of updates, she shared her struggles with bronchitis and pneumonia, but seemed to be on the mend by mid-September. However, it appears the infection has taken a nasty turn on her return to Los Angeles.
Fans have been quick to rally around Alana, offering words of encouragement and support as she undergoes treatment. "I'm so sorry to hear this," wrote one concerned fan. "Praying for you Alana. Hope you have a speedy recovery too."
As Alana continues to fight this stubborn infection, her relationships with her ex-husbands remain strong. She shares an enduring bond with Rod Stewart, with whom she co-parents their two children following their amicable split in the mid-1980s. The pair even reunited for their son Sean's wedding last year, posing happily together for photos.
Meanwhile, Alana's marriage to actor George Hamilton ended four years after they tied the knot in 1972. Despite their divorce, the couple remains on good terms and has referred to themselves as "best friends." They share a son, Ashley, who is now 51 years old.
With her health taking center stage, fans will undoubtedly be keeping an eye on Alana's progress over the coming weeks. As she undergoes treatment in this tranquil hospital setting, we can't help but wonder: what next for this glamorous former model and actress?
