  • Dina Lohan Rushes to Lindsay Lohan in London Following Illness Scare

    Dina Lohan reportedly rushed to daughter Lindsay Lohan’s side in London on Wednesday on the heels of her serious illness. The Mean Girls actress was recently diagnosed with Chikungunya, a mosquito-transmitted virus that made her so ill she couldn’t walk.

    TMZ reports that Lindsay Lohan was admitted to a London hospital with a rare, incurable virus she apparently picked up while vacationing in Bora Bora.

    The actress contracted the disease over the holidays and then returned to Los Angeles to shoot a Super Bowl ad for Esurance. She wasn’t feeling well the entire time. Upon arriving in London, she was so ill she couldn’t walk, and was admitted to King Edward VII’s Hospital–the same place Queen Elizabeth and the royal family are treated when they are ill.

    Lindsay Lohan shared a photo of a meeting she attended while in L.A. via Instragram.

    Of course now everyone is likely wondering why Dina Lohan is rushing to Lindsay’s side. Lindsay is out of the hospital and it sounds like the lingering effects of the disease include joint pain and weakness. What will Dina Lohan do to alleviate any of that? She isn’t exactly the best influence on her daughter.

    “Dina wants her to come home to New York when she is released,” a source close to the Lohan family tells RadarOnline. “She is extremely worried for Lindsay and has suggested that she come back to live with her until her symptoms get better.”

    Will Lindsay Lohan go home with her mom? Will Dina Lohan for once, perhaps, behave like a mom and actually care for her sick daughter?

    Chikungunya can be deadly, but it sounds like doctors in England have Lindsay’s case under control. Might she be better off staying near the hospital where she received treatment–at least for now–or should she head to the states with Dina Lohan? Surely New York hospitals are equipped to care for the actress, but is she healthy enough to travel?

  • Lindsay Lohan Faces a Long Road to Recovery From Chikungunya, a Rare, Incurable Virus

    Lindsay Lohan has a long road ahead of her as she recovers from Chikungunya, a rare tropical virus that she contracted during a trip to Bora Bora last month.

    Lindsay Lohan was released from a London hospital this week after being treated for Chikungunya, which is spread through mosquito bites and can cause rashes, fatigue, nausea, headaches, muscle pain, fevers and severe joint paint.

    Recovery from the virus can take months.

    “The doctors told her it could take six months to a year for the virus to clear up. She has good days and bad. Right now, she’s not doing so well,” a source to E! News.

    TMZ was the first to report that Lindsay Lohan was hospitalized this week.

    Lindsay Lohan was released from the hospital on Wednesday and back to doing her day to day activities, which includes some community service with CVS Positive Furtures, a youth-volunteer non-profit. She is currently living in England while performing onstage in Speed-the-Plow.

    Still with chikungunya but feeling better on and off @patrickaufdenkamp @oprah thank you for your call #beherenow
