She was hospitalized with epiglottitis, a rare and potentially life-threatening condition where the tissue in the windpipe becomes inflamed, blocking airflow to the lungs.

“The last several weeks have been an amazing learning experience. I have pushed myself to new limits physically and mentally, and I am so proud of how far we’ve come.”

Mai continued, “I can’t thank my partner Brandon enough for being so supportive and believing in me. I also want to thank MAI fans who voted every week and I wish everyone else in the competition the best of luck!”

Say a prayer for Jeannie in this hard time!
