Michael Strahan’s daughter Isabella is continuing to keep fans updated on her brain cancer journey.
The 19-year-old model, who was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor known as a medulloblastoma in October, posted her 11th YouTube vlog Tuesday titled “Two surprise trips to the ER.”
The student shared that she ended up in the hospital for “three or four days” because she’d been “getting a lot of fevers” after her first chemo treatment.
“If you get a fever of 100.4, you have to come in,” she said.
During her stay, she underwent her first blood transfusion and an MRI of her eyes. She celebrated her last radiation treatment in January.
In the new video, she also documented a blurred clip of her getting her chemo port cleaned before finally heading home — only to return to the hospital hours later.
“I catfished everyone. We left the hospital after three or four days and now we’re back less than 12 hours later because I have a fever again,” she explained. “I got a fever of 102 and had to come back in. So we’re trying to figure out what’s wrong but no one can find out what’s wrong.
“This is the worst fever I think I’ve had,” she added. “I don’t feel as horrible as I did the first time. I just have a really bad headache so I thought nothing of it and now we’re in the ER. I don’t feel great. I don’t feel horrible. I’ve felt worse but I don’t feel good. I feel like I can barely walk now.”
Michael’s girlfriend, Kayla Quick, accompanied her to the facility, noting that Isabella was able to easily walk laps through the hospital two days ago.
“It’s really declined,” Isabella said.
Michael addressed Isabella’s recent setback on “Good Morning America.”
“I had to take her to the hospital and thought she’d come home a few hours later. …It’s been three days, but hopefully she’ll be home today,” he said Feb. 21.
At the time, he said Isabella had experienced “expected” side effects, but admitted the process has still been difficult.
“It is tough to see her go through it, but I know she’s a tough young lady and she’s going to make it through it,” he said.
The “GMA” co-host has daughters Isabella and Sophia with his second wife, Jean Muggli. He’s also dad to daughter Tanita, 32, and son Michael Jr., 29, with his first wife, Wanda Hutchins.
