Jeannie Mai Is ‘Grateful’ After Undergoing Emergency Surgery

Jeannie Mai is grateful after having to undergo emergency surgery on Monday.

The co-host of “The Real” was hospitalized after learning her sore throat was actually a potentially life-threatening health condition.

Jeannie posted a photo from her hospital bed with the following caption:

I would never imagine ever having to write this, but I made it safely out of my emergency surgery. I will be forever grateful to Dr. Nasseri who identified my potentially life-threatening condition. What simply started as a sore throat had unbeknownst to me become a dangerous infection that already closed at least 60% of my airway and resulted in a throat abscess that spread in a matter of 3 days.

Although I am grateful to be recovering safely, I can’t lie… I am devastated by the fact that my journey with #DWTSwill end this way ?? Dancing on this show has been the most exhilarating adventure. I’ve gained both beautiful friendships and loving supporters. To my partner, @Brandonarmstrong, I’m sorry you don’t get to make fun of my moves anymore while I share my life gems on how to be a grown up?? Love u so much lil bro, and will ALWAYS cherish the memories we made!!! And more good news? My thumbs still work hunnay, so I can spread my 20 votes across these final 8 superstar teams!!! Please everyone, TONIGHT watch for your fave #DWTS couple killen it in the ballroom cuz #TeamDreamofJeannie, we gotta share our love and VOTE!!!
