Rod Stewart’s Ex-Wife Alana Stewart, 80, Hospitalized for Two-Week IV Antibiotics to Treat Persistent Lung Infection

Doctors urged IV treatment after pills failed.

Overview

  • Stewart said she is at UCLA Santa Monica Medical Center receiving intravenous antibiotics over a planned two-week course.
  • The infection persisted despite multiple oral antibiotics, and she delayed IV therapy because of allergies to many medications.
  • She reported being in good spirits, walking in the hospital’s meditation garden and expressing gratitude to her doctors and nurses.
  • The hospitalization follows a COVID-19 illness about four weeks ago, though she says it is unknown whether the conditions are related.
  • During her COVID recovery in Florida, she received IV fluids and vitamins at a Sollis Health clinic, and her latest update drew supportive messages from followers and colleagues.
