BREAKING: Former NFL RB Peyton Hillis Takes Major Step In Recovery After Risking His Life While Saving His Kids From Drowning
Former Arkansas and NFL running back Peyton Hillis has been discharged from the hospital two weeks after he rescued family members during a swimming accident, according to a social media post by his girlfriend.
Indeed, Hillis' girlfriend, Angela Cole, posted a photo Friday on Instagram of Hillis with the medical team that cared for him at Baptist Hospital in Pensacola, Florida.
"The amount of love and gratitude I have for the incredible team that took care of Peyton is indescribable," she wrote. "You all worked like a perfected machine with each and every one of you so kind, attentive, calming and caring."
Hillis played for the Broncos, Browns, Chiefs, Buccaneers, and Giants from 2008 to 2014.
Hillis has been hospitalized for nearly two weeks now after saving his two children from drowning at a Florida beach.
The former Razorback and Cleveland Browns star was still in critical condition as of last week. He is dealing with kidney and lung issues, but girlfriend Angela Cole said last Thursday that he was not only off the ventilator, but «on the road to recovery.»
