shared photos on Instagram Monday of the aftermath of her emergency brain surgery. Ban laid in a hospital bed with stitches in her skull in the pictures.“And in a blink of an eye … life can change,” Ban began her caption, where she detailed the near-fatal incident.“Christmas Eve on a beautiful sunny day in Aspen on vacation with my family, I had a ski accident that would change my life,” she wrote. “At the top of the mountain I caught a tip and face planted.
Luckily I always wear a helmet, It didn’t seem that bad at the time and I was able to ski to the bottom.”Ban continued, “Erring on the side of caution, I wanted to get checked out by ski patrol for a concussion.
They assessed me and I was cleared. I had a bit of a headache but thought after lunch it would be fine and I could ski again.
The paramedic suggested I go to the hospital for a cat scan. This saved my life.”The reality star explained that she took a taxi to the hospital with her husband, Jett Kain, and was told within 30 minutes that she had a brain bleed and needed to be airlifted to the trauma hospital.“Last thing I remember was being intubated and waking up after an emergency craniotomy with Jett by my side,” she recalled.
