Mexican television host Laura Bozzo is currently recovering in a hospital after a severe medical crisis that left doctors with only a 10% estimate of her survival. Her daughter, Victoria de la Fuente, disclosed the grim initial prognosis during a recent interview, marking the first time the family has spoken publicly since Bozzo was hospitalized.
The emergency began at night when Bozzo suffered a rupture of a preexisting ulcer. An ambulance transported her to a medical facility in Acapulco, where staff confirmed that the ulcer had perforated and triggered peritonitis, a life-threatening abdominal infection. De la Fuente described the situation as super serious, noting that the medical team gave her mother only a 10% chance of leaving the hospital alive upon admission.
Peritonitis poses a high risk if treatment is not immediate, which explains the severity of the initial diagnosis. Bozzo required two weeks of continuous care in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) to stabilize her condition. During this period, her daughters stayed away from the media to manage the crisis privately. They have only now chosen to share details of the illness to update fans on their mother's status.
Bozzo is now conscious and her condition is stable, with the medical team reporting that her symptoms are under control. De la Fuente stated that her mother is emerging from the most critical phase of her recovery. The family emphasized that the current situation is much more manageable than the initial hours in the hospital.
The host remains in the hospital as part of her ongoing treatment. While she has shown favorable evolution since her ICU stay ended, she is still monitored closely. The family confirmed that Bozzo is awake and responsive, a marked improvement from the urgent admission that occurred several weeks ago.
The medical team has not announced a specific discharge date. Bozzo continues to rest under observation as her body heals from the infection. Her daughters plan to continue supporting her during this final stage of recovery before she returns to her normal routine.
