American reality television star Ali Fedotowsky's five-year-old daughter, Molly, was rushed to the hospital due to severe dehydration on Wednesday. Known best among fans for contesting on reality shows like The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, the 37-year-old explained the events leading up to Molly's health worsening by the hour. Taking to Instagram, Fedotowsky, who also shares 3-year-old son Riley with her husband, Kevin Manno, gave an insight into her daughter's condition stating that she had been vomiting for 15 hours and later also developing a high fever before she became unresponsive.
Posting photos of Molly lying on the hospital bed, Fedotowsky wrote, "Molly and I are spending the night at the Children’s Hospital tonight. She’s OK. She is just severely dehydrated and they feel she needs to be monitored overnight and given liquids via an IV to get where the doctor feel she needs to be." She added, "I am truly so grateful for all your messages and advice and words of encouragement and concern for Molly. Today was really hard and honestly I was so very scared earlier but tonight I’m going to bed extremely grateful. Grateful for the messages I got saying she might be dehydrated. Grateful for my husband who has worked so hard to take care of us (I haven’t said anything but I haven’t been feeling well either) while keeping Riley separate so he doesn’t get sick. Grateful for her doctor that didn’t send us home instead sent us straight to the ER. Grateful for the doctors and nurses here that have taken such good care of us. And especially grateful that they don’t think it’s anything more serious and hopefully we will be going home tomorrow." The former Bachelor star also said, "My heart goes out to every parent out there who has felt the fear and pain of seeing your child (or any loved one) so sick ❤️"
Molly, who was hooked up to IVs and kept in the hospital overnight to monitor her health status and give her continuous fluids, was soon back home and feeling much better than before. Fedotowsky revealed that there was a nasty stomach bug going around and took the opportunity to inform everyone about it. She also posted pictures of Molly back home from the hospital and looking jubilant. Fedotowsky wrote, "Home! Molly is home and almost back to her old self! She even found a lucky penny when we walked out of the hospital this morning to our car. It might sound silly but her finding that penny (and of course being discharged from the hospital) made breathe a huge sigh of relief. Like that penny is going to keep her safe or something. Molly was an absolute trooper in the hospital! She got poked and pricked so many times because they were having trouble finding veins because of her dehydration and I’m just so proud of her! She’s my little rockstar! Thank you for all the love and well wishes. It’s crazy how things can change so quickly and how your view of the world can change just as quickly. I’m living today and every day moving forward with so much more gratitude ❤️"
