TOWIE's Jordan Brook shares a health update after meningitis battle as he and pregnant Sophie Kasaei prepare to welcome their first child
Summary: TOWIE star Jordan Brook is recovering from a terrifying health scare just weeks before his baby boy is due with his pregnant girlfriend, Sophie Kasaei. What friends jokingly called "man flu" turned out to be viral meningitis and encephalitis.
Jordan suffered from extreme fevers, bright yellow projectile vomiting, and a headache that felt like a "hot corkscrew." After paramedics initially sent him home with a migraine diagnosis, his gut told him something was seriously wrong. Doctors soon discovered severe brain swelling, and his liver nearly failed.
Now, after spending 22 days in the hospital, Jordan is celebrating a "miracle." His liver has returned to normal, and he is focused on healing the scar tissue on his brain so he can be a fit dad when his baby arrives.
