Erin Bates’ Sad Health Update
When Erin Bates Paine gave birth to her seventh child, it should have been a happy moment. The Bringing Up Bates alum welcomed a son, Henry, with her husband, Chad Paine. Followers know that the Bates’ kids have as many kids as possible, and they love being parents. Unfortunately, this delivery came with some serious problems, and Erin ended up in septic shock. This came about because she had a severe UTI and a kidney infection, leading her to fall very ill. Luckily, Henry is doing fine in the NICU, which is great news for the family.
As for Erin, she is not faring so well, as Chad shared via social media. He gave an update on his wife and detailed where she is now. She was allegedly doing better regarding her infection, but then, she backslid. Erin suffered a dramatic and lengthy seizure, leaving her weak and vulnerable. She is barely conscious, and this has left Chad terrified and worried. He just wants his wife to get better, but that is not happening, so he is now asking for prayers. All he wants is for Erin to get out of the woods, but there are no clues that is happening.
As of now, the former Bringing Up Bates star is in the ICU, undergoing a plethora of tests to see what is going on. Moreover, they want to understand why this has happened, and Chad is suffering emotionally. He hates seeing his wife in such a “helpless” state, so that is why he has enlisted followers for help. It seems that everyone has answered him and is sending all the love possible.
“I love her more deeply than words can express, and I can’t even imagine life without my best friend. The hours have been long and heavy, and I know many hearts are aching to see her this way, along with mine. We hold on to faith that healing is coming, even in the midst of the unknown. Your prayers are felt and we are forever grateful.” – Chad
