The 31-year-old Lexi Reed from Indiana was hospitalized last month after suffering from a serious disorder.

Lexi was unable to walk and had to be admitted to a ventilator in a medically induced coma. Her husband Danny Reed shared back in February that her kidney and liver were failing via Lexi’s IG handles.

He shared a picture of Lexi and gave an update on Reed’s health condition. He wrote in a caption,

“Sorry for the late update but I (@discoveringdanny and family) have been focusing on getting Lexi back to health. A few weeks ago Lexi kept getting sick and couldn’t keep any food down. She then started acting differently so I took her to the hospital where they admitted her into ICU, placed on a medically induced comma, on a ventilator, and me that her organs started failing,”
