We all can’t wait to receive you back home to celebrate, laugh with and applaud you!!
A source has said it was “touch and go” at first following the medical condition.
Jamie suffered a serious medical episode and needed immediate attention. It was touch and go for days with him, and he had to be revived — he is very lucky to be alive!
The source also explained how doctors likely saved his life.
He’s very lucky he got the treatment he did. Jamie suffers from high blood pressure, which doctors say can cause clots in the brain leading to a stroke.
Jamie is is said to be well on the road to recovery and has been surrounded by his family during his health crisis.
His daughter, Corinne previously took to Instagram to update fans on her father’s condition.
She wrote;
We wanted to share that my father Jamie Foxx experienced a medical complication yesterday.
Luckily due to quick action and great care he is already on his way to recovery. We know how beloved he is and appreciate your prayers. The family asks for privacy during this time.
