shocked fans on Thursday night when she posted on Instagram Stories a selfie showing her sporting a swollen face in a hospital room.
The 27-year-old Modern Family actress said she was admitted on Monday and did not reveal her ailment.
"Sometimes a selfie is more than just a good angle and feeling cute. This time for #nationalselfieday I've decided to share my truth. As painful as it is," Hyland said in her recent Instagram post. "So here is my face that was torn from work against my will. But I'm very grateful it was. Health should always come first."
In 2012, Hyland revealed she underwent a kidney transplant after battling kidney dysplasia, a congenital disorder. In 2017, she said on Twitter, in response to body shamers, that her face is swollen from life-saving medication, noting the popular steroid Prednisone, and that she'd "basically been on bed rest" in recent months and lost a lot of muscle mass.
