Jordan Peterson’s daughter, Mikhaila Fuller, gave a heart-stopping update on how their family has been under overt spiritual attacks since her dad’s health dramatically declined.
In a video shared to X, Fuller stated, “This summer’s been exceedingly difficult. Dad was in ICU suffering with pneumonia and sepsis after dealing with a host of neurological issues…that we believe stem from CIRS, which is Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome from decades of mold exposure.”

Fuller then said that there has not been a better explanation given to her about her father’s condition other than it must be “spiritual attacks.”
Fuller says that her family was not able to communicate much with her father through most of the month of September. She says Peterson has now been moved out of ICU into a “less urgent” floor.
“Praise God for that,” Fuller says. “My family’s asking for prayers. Like I said, this summer’s been exceedingly difficult and terrifying.”
Along with her dad’s critical illness, Fuller also explained how her own newborn daughter almost died this summer as well.
“I believe there’s a spiritual element at play here. I think a lot of people have felt in the last few weeks and months. It’s been hitting my dad and my family hard this summer. In August, the day dad was brought to a hospital by ambulance, my newborn, Audrey was also brought to the hospital by ambulance within hours of each other. It was unbelievable. This was the second time this summer we brought Audrey to the hospital after she almost died from near-heart failure at six weeks old…”
Hey, as you know @jordanbpeterson has been really sick. A lot of people have been asking for updates so here’s one. He’s recovering slowly day by day but I won't lie, it's slow and scary. He won't be back for another few months at least, probably longer. We’re not entirely sure… pic.twitter.com/wmS5Wy2tg8

Fuller says that through all of it, her family has been leaning on the Lord. She further recognized that God does and can use absolutely anything for good. Fuller says that she believes the best way to fight back against this attack is to continue forward with her father’s mission and works.
