Todd Chrisley<\/a><\/strong> is on the mend after testing positive for coronavirus. <\/p>\n

The Chrisley Knows Best<\/em> star and wife Julie Chrisley<\/strong> revealed the news on Wednesday’s episode of their podcast, Chrisley Confessions<\/em>. <\/p>\n

“Can we talk about this bitch called corona?” he shared. “I have been battling corona for 3 weeks. I was in the hospital for 4 and a half days, fever between 100 to 103 [degrees] and it has been the sickest I have ever been on this earth.”<\/p>\n

He added, “Hopefully, I will get better every day, but as of right now, folks, I still am not clicking on all cylinders. I am probably about 70 to 75 percent of what I normally I am, but that last 25 percent is kicking my ass.”<\/p>\n

In a lengthy message shared with her 2 million Instagram followers, Todd’s daughter Savannah Chrisley<\/a><\/strong> said he was diagnosed with COVID-19 two and a half weeks ago and offered more insight into his time spent at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tenn. <\/p>\n

“I have never been so scared in my life,” Savannah wrote<\/a>, adding, “When dad started getting sick I immediately started worrying… he and I are the worriers of the bunch. After a couple days mom and I talked him into going to urgent care… he went in and he was showing all symptoms of COVID-19 so they tested him.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Savannah then addressed critics who could assume her father was able to get tested because of his fame, writing, “So before people say… ‘OH HE ONLY GOT TESTED BECAUSE HE’S A CELEBRITY…’ u are WRONG! He went into an urgent care just like the rest of [you] would. After getting tested he went back home and stayed quarantined in his bedroom for 7 days and then his test came back… POSITIVE… when mom and I read that our hearts dropped.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

After “worsening” symptoms,” Savannah said Todd “couldn’t fight it any longer” and was taken to the emergency room by Julie.<\/p>\n

“When she got there they made her drop him off and leave because of all the strict guidelines. He stayed at Vanderbilt for 3 days and those were the hardest 3 days I think I’ve ever endured,” the 22-year-old recalled. “I talk to my daddy 10x a day! He’s my best friend… I also never go to bed a single night without a ‘Goodnight and I love you’ text.. and now my dad was sitting in a hospital room by himself and I had no idea how he was.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Savannah’s post concluded, “At one point I fell on my hands and knees and begged God to not take him..to not take my best friend..I would give everything I had if it meant keeping my daddy. I was so desperate that I dropped photos of our family off at the hospital and said ‘If he sees these I know he’ll keep fighting!’ So I guess the point of me telling u all this is so that u take it seriously…STAY HOME! SOCIAL DISTANCE! And most importantly..LOVE HARDER THAN EVER! Life is so short.”<\/p>\n

The reality TV star also personally thanked Kim Zolciak-Biermann<\/strong> for her guidance throughout Todd’s health scare. <\/p>\n

“Also y’all… @kimzolciakbiermann was a saint during this whole thing as well! If you didn’t know…she used to be a nurse…so she gave me so many tips and helped to calm my nerves,” Savannah wrote, to which she replied, “God is good. so grateful he is feeling better.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
