Septic shock is the most dangerous and severe form of sepsis, a condition in which the body improperly fights against infection by turning on itself.
After several trips to the emergency room and a week in intensive care, the 32-year-old reflected on the scary incident on social media.
She wrote on Instagram:
"As I sit here processing and recovering from the first few weeks of 2024, the only word I can think of is grateful."
"While on holiday in December into New Years, what started as tonsillitis spiraled into critical septic shock, which infected and affected several of my organs."
"I am grateful that my health has improved despite what we had initially been told."
The Tony-nominated actor, whose Broadway stage credits include The King & I and Mean Girls, expressed appreciation for her beau, Emily in Paris co-star Paul Forman, who was with her throughout the terrifying ordeal.
"Grateful most of all to @peforman for being unconditionally by my side through all this," she wrote and expressed her love and appreciation of Forman, who never left her side.
"You calmed my fears and held me through ambulances, three foreign hospitals, a week in the ICU, scary ERs, countless scans and tests and injections, excruciating pain, and so much confusion all while we were alone on the other side of the world far from those we know."
"I love you Paul. More than I can ever say."
She continued thanking the doctors and ICU nurses who cared for her and she also gave a shout-out to her "personal team of heroes at home" for taking care of business from across the pond while continuing to provide endless love and support.
"I hesitated to share what’s been happening as I’m still in the throes of recovery," she wrote, adding that the worst was behind her.
She closed the post with:
"I'm sorry for being so absent recently to so much and to people in my life."
"I love you all. I’m healing and I promise I’m gonna be okay."
Park's Emily in Paris co-star and bestie Lily Collins responded to the post with:
"I can hardly look at these without crying."
"I love you sister and I’m forever grateful you’re on the other side of this and for @peforman for your incredibly huge heart and for being there every step of the way. I cannot wait to hug you both."
