Overview

• Peterson spent nearly a month in intensive care for pneumonia and sepsis and has been transferred to a less-urgent hospital floor with daily gains, his daughter said.
• In a video update posted Saturday, Mikhaila Peterson said his recent neurological decline is believed by the family to stem from CIRS linked to longstanding mold exposure that worsened after he cleaned his late father’s basement.
• During treatment he was diagnosed with critical illness polyneuropathy, though the family hopes the condition may be critical illness myopathy instead.
• She said his care is complicated because he experiences severe paradoxical reactions to many medications, leaving options limited.
• The family describes a spiritual dimension to the ordeal and plans to keep his projects running, including Peterson Academy and releasing his We Who Wrestle With God tour on YouTube, while noting her newborn Audrey has stabilized after a separate hospitalization.
