Buffalo Bills and Buffalo Sabres co-owner and president Kim Pegula suffered a cardiac arrest in June, and continues to battle speech and memory issues, her daughter, fourth-ranked women's tennis player Jessica, revealed Tuesday.
The 28-year-old penned a piece for The Players' Tribune detailing the issues facing her mother, the family, and the two pro sports franchises following the medical emergency. Kim, Jessica explained, has been removed from the public eye, and may not be able to continue with the same level of involvement with both the Bills and Sabres.
Kim went into cardiac arrest while sleeping back in June and received lifesaving CPR from another daughter until paramedics arrived and restored her heartbeat. The family previously said only that Kim was receiving medical care for 'some unexpected health issues' that arose shortly after she celebrated her 53rd birthday.
'My mom is working hard in her recovery, she is improving, but where she ends up is still unknown,' Jessica wrote.
Jessica decided to write about her mother's ordeal after Bills player Damar Hamlin went into cardiac arrest on the field during a January 2 game in Cincinnati in what Pegula described as 'some bizarre, messed-up, full circle moment.'
