She lives upstairs on the third floor and she got sick.”
Giving an update on his wife’s health a week later, he stated, as reported by ComicBook, “She's doing great, much better. Not 100% but she's doing much better. It's been over three weeks now, it was a nightmare. All of a sudden, it just came on her, and of course, you backtrack and figure out where it came from.” He added, “She was real sick. I had to take her to the hospital twice for IV once and then just to make sure she was okay. You never know. They released her both times after keeping her for a couple of hours. You can't be careful enough."
