Popular YouTube streamer IShowSpeed is back in hospital again, and he's asking fans to pray for him. He still streamed from the hospital bed for his big milestone
– that's dedication!
Popular YouTuber IShowSpeed is back in hospital, just one day after being released. The young content creator was rushed to the hospital in an ambulance because of severe headaches and a mysteriously swollen eye, but was released shortly after, only to post pictures from a hospital bed once again!
IShowSpeed is well known for his chaotic YouTube streams, during which he almost burned down his apartment multiple times, leaked celebrities' phone numbers and more. Speed quickly turned into one of the biggest streamers on YouTube and was able to meet his football heroes, as well as people like Drake. Kid is going places!
Recently, the 18-year-old content creator hasn't been doing so well, though, as he is suffering from a bad headache and a mysterious eye-swelling. Speed was rushed to the hospital because of this, revealing that he was apparently suffering from a serious sinus infection.

This was revealed by one of Speed's friends called Slipper, who continued to update fans on the situation, including the fact that Speed had been released from the hospital.

It looks like the infection returned shortly after Speed was released from the hospital, but once again, Slipper updated people on his condition.
Speed had MRI done and no surgery is needed. The docs say inflammation and bacteria is not on his eye only his eyelid
The diagnosis appears to be the same, sinusitis, but this time doctors “have said it could progress to meningitis if not treated right, which is why they’ve advised he stays in hospital for now”.
Slipper emphasizes that Speed is in good hands and seems to be optimistic about the popular creator making a recovery.
Speed also made a video for his fans, explaining the situation and his symptombs, claiming they "could even keep [him] here for months".
While months might be a little overexaggerated, he is probably under medication while filming this video.Speed gives us an update on his current situation pic.twitter.com/2tCGPx1m0D

The YouTuber emphasizes that he would love to make content for his fans, but is unable to do so, because of his health condition: until now!
IShowSpeed Streams From Hospital To Celebrate Milestone
Even though he is still in the hospital and his eye is still concerningly swollen, he went live on YouTube to celebrate a special milestone. On August 3, he hit 19 million subscribers. Congrats on that!
He wanted to celebrate with his chat, hospital bed be damned. He got pretty emotional as he reached the milestone and even teared up. But see for yourself:
While it is truly admirable that he still wants to entertain his fans, he should focus on making a speedy recovery and take care of his health.
Livestreaming, especially IRL, really has its dangers!
