By the time she arrived at the hospital, she was conscious, according to authorities. But reports later stated that while she was hospitalized, she had fallen into a coma.

According to the actress' Facebook page, she spoke out regarding this ordeal.:

"I am happy to report I am not, nor have I been, in a coma. As anyone who has taken strong medication knows, it doesn't always agree with you, even with me as this experience proves. I am confronting these hurdles with my usual enthusiasm and love of life. Much love, Valerie."

"P.S.. But I must confess that the highlight of this ordeal came when I was escorted by two handsome young men and a pilot, in a medivac helicopter, as the full moon lit the sky," she added. "Talk about movie magic!!!"

It was in January of 2013 that Valerie Harper revealed her diagnosis of terminal brain cancer, and that the doctors had given her as little as 3 months to live.
