Matt Lanter, who played Liam Court on teen drama 90210, this week has undergone emergency surgery, a week his wife Angela Lanter has described as the "scariest of [her] life."
Angela, 37, shared an image of her hand holding her 38-year-old husband Matt's hand to Instagram, a medical bracelet clearly visible around his wrist.
"This week has been the scariest of my life," Angela wrote alongside the black and white photo. "My hubby has been through the ringer since Tuesday and ended up in emergency surgery on Thursday. Thankfully he's started to turn the corner and is slowly getting on the road to recovery."

"Thank you all for your prayers, love and support," Angela continued.
"We are so thankful to the awesome nurses, they are the real heroes. ❤️ We still have an uphill battle and will continue to be in the hospital for a while longer, so prayers are definitely still appreciated."
Angela — who is known for her YouTube videos posted under the name Angela Stacy — did not specify what Matt is currently suffering from in her post.
