Peyton Hillis is reported to have lived through a nightmare that left him in a critical condition. KNWA Fox24 reporter Alyssa Orange confirmed on Twitter that Peyton found himself in trouble while swimming in Florida and, as of January 5, was in the ICU and unconscious. She added that his family were asking for prayers for the former athlete. That development came after a post on Facebook sparked worry for the former NFL star after his uncle, Greg Hillis, shared an update on Peyton's condition. "Peyton is doing better. He's still in intensive care and having some problems with his kidneys and lungs but the doctors say he is improving," Greg wrote in part. "I'm sure he would want everyone to know that he appreciates all of the prayers being thrown up on his behalf."
TMZ reported Peyton was swimming to save his children and got injured while doing the heroic act. Thankfully, though, the outlet reported that his kids (People confirmed he shares two children with his former wife, Amanda Hillis) are doing okay after the incident. Peyton shared a video to Instagram of himself playing a football video game with his son in July 2022, just months before the accident. "Grateful to know I can still kick somebody's a** in football... even if it is my 9 year old son," he joked in the caption.
We're sending our prayers and well-wishes to the Hillis family.
