Christine Quinn exclusively revealed to Page Six that her mother, Barbara Dragony, is in the hospital after suffering a heart attack last week.

You mentioned to me a little bit before,unfortunately, your mom is ill.How is she?Yeah.She's good.She's in the hospital, right now.My mom has a lot of health issues, she always has.She has had cancer twice,back to back, when she was 40 and 41,and she's had a double-mastectomy.She has Lupus, rheumatoid arthritis,Reynaud's and also she's pretty handicappedand really can't walk that much.Her hands are fused together, so this is the only movementin her hands she has.She's had a lot of surgeries.She's had a spinal surgery and then right before my wedding,she had to have heart surgery with an artery,and we found out that she had a heart attack the other dayso she's in the hospital, right now.It's just really hard because no one's allowed to visit,and my dad and my sister can't even visit.So it's just, it's really hard, right now.Because of corona, they won't let anyone in.So she's been sick my whole life.That's just something I've dealt with.But on top of not even being able to see heris really hard, right now.Yeah, I can see you kinda getting emotionaltalking about it, so we really appreciate youtaking time out of your day while you'regoing through all this to talk to us.Sure, of course.And we hope that she gets better really soon.Thank you.We did hear some unfortunate news about youbeing kind of sick, though, around your wedding day?Yeah, that was really, really interesting.So my husband and I were vacationingmid to late December, around mid-Decemberand we were traveling to a few places.We went to Dubai and Hong Kong,and we came backand we were feeling really sickand it was just this different feeling.It wasn't a cold.It was like a cold, but so much different.I couldn't breathe and you know I havea mini-fridge by my bed that's 10-feet awayand even to go get a water out of the mini-fridgewas so exhausting.I couldn't do stairs and I was out of breath.Even talking on the phone was just exhausting me.There was days where I was feeling better,so I would go to work and I would filmand I would tell production, I'm like,"I think I'm getting better, I think I'm getting better,"and then the next day I would just crashand I'd be in bed for two days straight.And it was just this weird rollercoasterof up and down, up and down, and it was just,it was horrible.So I just thought it was a cold.I was on two rounds of antibiotics, I was on steroids,nothing was kicking it out.I was sick for a good month and a half, probably.And then wewe just kind of forgot about it.And then all this news started coming outabout the coronavirus.They were listing the symptoms and I was like,every symptom was exactly what I had.So sure enough, I did an antibodies testand it was positive.(chuckles) I was like, "Wow."I was so shocked.So it was really, really just something.I don't wish that on my worst enemy.It was really horrible.And what a time for you to get that too,right around your wedding,as if that wasn't stressful enough.

(chuckles)On my wedding I was so sick.I remember taking two steroidsand trying to get through my wedding,and it was so hard.I actually was going upstairs and taking breaksin the dressing room because it was physically exhaustingfor me to stand for so long.So it was really, really hard to get through it.I was thinking all these things, I was like,"Am I pregnant?"What is going on?"All these things are going through my head.I was going on WebMD and it was basically sayingI was dying, you know.

(laughing)Don't ever self-diagnose yourself, by the way.(chuckling)(audio distortion)For sure.But we didn't really know about coronavirus back then,so it wouldn't have even popped up, maybe on WebMD then.I know, I know.It'll be interesting to watch it backbecause when I was filming, I was in such a daze,I don't remember what I shot, what I looked,I don't remember anything.It was like it didn't even happenso it'll be interesting watching it backbecause I'm gonna be like, "Oh my god,"it was so hard to get to work"that day, that day, that day."Yeah, did your husband, Christian,ever also get symptoms or catch anything with you?Yes, he was sick as well.He was probably sick or about two weeksbut he didn't go down as hard as I did.I went down so hard.Yeah, he was sick for about two weeks,but nowhere near what I was.Wow, and so his antibodies test also came out positive?His came back negative, unfortunately,and she said that sometimes what happens with the testis they only go back so far,or sometimes people don't have itin their system that's strong enough.She said it's very possible that he probably did have it,it's just sometimes those tests aren't really accurate.
