Jeannie Mai is in recovery mode. The 41-year-old television personality was hospitalized just days ago to receive treatment for epiglottitis, a potentially life-threatening condition in which the tissue of the windpipe becomes inflamed, potentially blocking airflow to the lungs, according to Mayo Clinic.
The health scare took Mai out of the running in the ongoing season of "Dancing With the Stars" as she was forced to exit the show.
On Thursday, "The Real" co-host took to Instagram to share a very brief update on her recovery. 'The Real' co-host Jeannie Mai was recently hospitalized for epiglottitis.
