Overview
- Katona detailed the crisis in an Instagram video, then wrote in her magazine column that her mother, Sue, remains in hospital after collapsing and being found to have a broken back.
- She said Sue was unconscious for about 24 hours and, when she woke, seemed stuck in a loop and unlike herself, which she called deeply traumatic.
- Katona said clinicians asked her to weigh a do-not-resuscitate decision, which is a directive to forgo CPR if a patient’s heart or breathing stops.
- She reported that Sue is now doing well under observation as specialists work to find the cause of the blackout.
- Katona added that she missed her own checks while at the hospital and is still recovering from a recent suspected-stroke scare that doctors later linked to stress.
