Evangeline Lilly announces she suffered brain damage in mishap
- On May 30, Evangeline Lilly announced she sustained a traumatic brain injury after fainting and falling face-first into a boulder on a rocky Hawaii beach, with scans showing most brain areas functioning at a decreased capacity.
- Lilly has long said she experienced fainting and `absent` spells since childhood, with doctors checking for epilepsy and initially attributing episodes to hypoglycemia, later ruled out by blood work and glucose monitoring.
- In a May Substack essay, Lilly shared photos showing stitches between nose and lip, chin cuts, and a dislodged front tooth while hospital nurses and doctors prioritized diagnosing her blackout.
- The injury has produced cognitive decline that slowed Lilly's life and career slowdown, with recovery an `uphill battle` involving doctors and hard work to fix it.
- Lilly has also suggested her `soul longs to return` and continues seeking answers while medical staff note many blackout patients lack clear diagnoses as Alyssa Milano and Michelle Pfeiffer respond.
