Bar Rescue star Rob Floyd had it all until tragedy hit his family. Floyd, 57, and his wife, Megan, were happily raising daughters Ella and Indigo and navigating his newfound success with season 5 of the Paramount series when their then-youngest collapsed. The family soon found Indigo, then 3, couldn't move the right side of her body. "We thought maybe she'd been bit by a snake," Megan, 43, told People in an interview published Sunday, August 24. The family headed to the emergency room, where they were told Indigo had suffered a stroke. Doctors eventually diagnosed Indigo with stage 4 Moyamoya, a rare and incurable brain disease that can cause narrowing of the carotid arteries, which in turn impacts the flow of blood to the brain and can lead to strokes like the one Indigo suffered.

Indigo was transferred to the pediatric unit at the UCLA Medical Center and underwent three brain surgeries. "She went from being this beautiful 3-year-old with no medical trauma to all of a sudden being a little potato," Megan recalled. "But she was still cognitively present, which was really tough. Honestly, I just sat and cried through a lot of it." Indigo spent another two months in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU), and Rob and Megan would "get one, two hours' sleep, but you'd be scared to death in case you weren't present [if something happened]."

"We were there every single month for at least a week, for almost a year and a half," she elaborated. "But Indigo's a fighter of the highest order. Giving up has never even entered her mind." Though there is no cure for the condition, with proper medication Indigo can live a full life that can include marriage, children and more if she wants it. The disease is "progressive" Megan added, and "we just need to keep up with it." These days Indigo has a service animal: a dog who is trained to alert if she is about to experience a seizure.

"It's amazing what happens when you have to rely on the kindness of strangers," he shared. "Our Muslim neighbors, who we previously didn't know, would drop off dinner three times a week. Now they're good friends." The hospital staff has also played a crucial role in supporting the family. He continued, "The nurses would take our clothes to their own homes and wash them for us when we were sleeping there. The kindness we were shown was just incredible. We now know what it's like to be in the dark and have complete strangers come to our aid and save us."
