The Young and The Restless (Y&R) spoilers reveal that Max Page (ex-Reed Hellstrom) has made it through his real-life medical drama at Children’s Hospital in LA and will be going home today. The entire Y&R cast has been worried and tweeting for prayers and now it seems they’ve been answered.
Even as the new Reed (Tristan Lake Leabu) is causing his mom Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) problems, the ex-Reed actor is giving his family reason to celebrate. Max has been sharing pics updating his journey as he struggled with a devastating heart infection – endocarditis.
Max suffered a series of frightening medical setbacks and surgeries during his six-year run on The Young and The Restless from 2009 to 2015. The young actor was born with congenital heart disease and has had more than 10 surgeries in his few years. It’s like a real-life soap opera plot.
He has a pacemaker and had a heart valve installed recently so the recent infection in his heart is just the latest installment in the scary surgical saga of this talented youngster. 12-year old Max recently showed off a banner in his room at Children’s Hospital that was autographed by the entire Y&R cast and crew.
Yesterday, Max shared a pic of him gearing up to watch Super Bowl LI from the hospital. The actor is a Falcon’s fan, so he’ll be disappointed in their last-minute tie-breaker loss, but has to be thrilled that he’s going home at last after a month-long stay in the hospital and near-death drama.
Despite Max’s health concerns, he’s been busy working since his departure from Y&R. He played young Donald Trump in a movie based on “Art of the Deal” and filmed a short called “No Stranger Pilgrims” and a couple episodes of “One Mississippi”, a TV series. Fans wonder if he’ll be back to work soon or is retired for now.
Max’s TV mom Amelia Heinle has been active on social media throughout Max’s journey asking fans to “keep my Max in your thoughts and prayers as they work to fix his beautiful heart.” Prayers answered! Max is set to leave Children’s Hospital in Los Angeles today.
