Cameron Mathison, known for his role as Drew Cain on General Hospital, recently shared that he has been battling illness for a week but is embracing the new year with a spirit of gratitude. On January 5, he took to Instagram to update his fans about his health, revealing that he had been under the weather during the New Year’s festivities.
Despite experiencing symptoms of the flu, Mathison made the most of his time by enjoying moments with his children at their cabin in Edwards, Colorado. He shared a series of photos showcasing their skiing adventures, reflecting on the importance of family and the precious moments they share together. In his heartfelt caption, Mathison expressed his appreciation for quiet days in the mountains, long conversations, and family time, saying, “Seven days down with the flu has me revisiting what really matters.”
His positive outlook is particularly inspiring, especially considering the challenges he faced last year when he lost his home in the Palisades fire. Fans flooded the comments section with supportive messages, wishing him a speedy recovery. Many resonated with his experience, sharing their own struggles with the flu and expressing their hope that he feels better soon.
Cameron is not alone in his battle against the flu this season. Co-star Nancy Lee Grahn, who plays Alexis Davis, also faced similar health challenges during the festive period. She reported that her illness lasted several days, during which she lost her voice, providing a bit of relief that the daytime soap wasn’t filming at that time.
As Mathison continues his recovery, his resilience and focus on gratitude serve as a reminder for many to cherish the moments that truly matter, even in the face of adversity.
