Pippa O'Connor Shares Update on Husband Brian Ormond’s Health Struggles
Pippa O’Connor has opened up about the ongoing health challenges her husband, Brian Ormond, has faced in recent weeks. The mother of three revealed that the past few months have been a difficult time for both Brian and their family, as he continues to recover in the hospital.
Despite the setbacks, Brian is reportedly on the mend, though the recovery process has been slow and challenging. Pippa shared details about the medical procedures Brian has undergone, including two surgeries on his back within a short period. However, complications have arisen, as he has developed an infection that has further delayed his recovery.
Brian is currently receiving treatment through an IV drip and taking multiple antibiotics to combat the infection. Pippa explained that the initial phase involved finding the right combination of antibiotics to bring the infection under control, which took some time. Once the infection started to subside, it became clear that the recovery would be a gradual process.
“Brian is still in hospital... It's been a whole thing,” Pippa said. “Thank you for all the kind messages, by the way, asking how Brian is. He's okay, it's just a slow process.”
She admitted that the situation has been overwhelming, describing the last few weeks as “a blur.” Pippa also expressed gratitude for the support she and her family have received from well-wishers during this time.
“He got a really bad infection, so yeah, [he's] on the antibiotic, IV drip, multiple times a day,” she continued. “At first, it was trying to find the right ones that would bring the infection down, and then once they did, it started to come down slowly, but it's a slow process.”
In addition to the infection, Brian has had two back operations in quick succession, which has added to the difficulties he has faced. Pippa admitted that it has been tough watching her husband go through such a challenging time.
“He's had two back operations with a very short space of time between them, so I feel so bad for him. He's had such bad luck and [been] really unfortunate the last few months that things just didn't go as smoothly as we would have anticipated at the start,” she said. “But anyway, that's life, and he will be okay. He's young, fit, and healthy.”
Pippa expressed her hope that Brian will soon be able to return home, though she joked that he might not be able to help with the Halloween decorations this year. She also mentioned that she can’t wait to have her husband back in the house.
Her update on Brian’s health comes after she previously joked about feeling “jealous” of him as they both get older. Despite the challenges, Pippa remains positive about Brian’s recovery and is hopeful that he will soon be back to his usual self.
