Former Arkansas and NFL running back Peyton Hillis has finally been discharged from the hospital, two weeks after he saved his kids from drowning on a Florida beach.
Hillis was in the ICU on a ventilator after suffering damage to his lungs and kidneys.
Peyton’s girlfriend Angela Cole gave a positive update about his recovery, saying: “God is so good!
“Peyton has been discharged from the hospital.
“The amount of love and gratitude I have for the incredible team that took care of Peyton is indescribable.
“This picture does not have anywhere near the amount of people who took such great care of him.
“To Baptist Hospital in Pensacola: Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
“I know I told you this probably 20 times a day, but you are so incredible.
“You all worked like a perfected machine with each and every one of you so kind, attentive, calming, and caring.
“You not only saved Peyton’s life, you made it a priority to make sure that his family and I were okay amidst your busy schedules.
“You all were so calming, answered every question numerous times kindly… and heck, even took care of me and made sure I was okay every night: got me hot tea for my throat, made sure I was sleeping and eating, gave me a friend to confide in.
“I mean, I am just in AWE.
“You have all become a huge family to me and I know have meant so much to all of us.
“I can’t express this enough when I say this, thank you for making all the difference in our lives.
“I’ll never be able to thank you enough!
“And a huge thank you again for all of your prayers, love, and support…
“God heard. And He answered.”
