Cody Simpson's sister Alli 'lucky to be alive' after breaking her neck
The new year is not off to a great start for Cody Simpson's sister Alli after she broke her neck and later tested positive for Covid.
The 23-year-old actress and singer shared the news on social media, explaining how she dove into the shallow end of a swimming pool and hit her head on the ground.
Alli revealed that she is lucky to be alive after undergoing medical scans on New Year's Eve and was evaluated by a neurosurgeon.
« The result: no immediate surgery was required and I was sent home with a hard neck brace that I will live in 24/7 for the next 4 months as my neck hopefully heals alone," he wrote.
"I am EXTREMELY lucky to be alive and/or not a quadriplegic as it ONLY bypassed my spinal cord."
She continued: 'The way I see it, four months is a drop in the ocean when it comes to the rest of my happy and healthy life.
"As you can imagine, I have been crying endlessly and thanking every guardian angel that watched over me in the pool that night and every moment since."
Alli, whose older brother has dated model Gigi Hadid and singer Miley Cyrus, thanked her friends, family and her medical staff for helping her get through her ordeal.
Wrapping up the post, she added: 'Happy New Year everyone, sending love and light. I hope that the beginning of your year has been much better than mine!
Alli received an outpouring of love after sharing the post, with one writing: 'Scary! Sending so much love and hugs for a girl who recovers quickly.''
