51-year-old journalist confirmed that the little one is “OK” on Monday, March 28th, episode of her podcast before going into detail about his accident.
The native Illinoisian said, “He’s an excellent skier.” He’s been skiing since his childhood. He tried an advanced run, and he did it perfectly. But he was inspired by the cave-like structure on the run, so he went to see it.”
Thatcher “hike[d]” up…to take a break,” former cohost pointed out, adding, “He didn’t have his skis on. He was wearing his ski boots. He’s just 8. He was tired at the end of the day and didn’t feel strong enough to climb the small cave. He fell.”
Kelly’s youngest child told Kelly later that he had fallen 10 feet and landed on rocks. A CT scan at the hospital revealed internal bleeding and three tears in Thatcher’s spleen.
“As parent, what do I do?” said the attorney who also shared Edward, 12, with Yardley, 10, with husband Douglas Brunt. What do you do? Because the bleeding isn’t stopping. We don’t want him losing his spleen. We would like to repair it if there is a way, but it’s unsafe to move him. As news continued to come in about the bleeding, I was able to talk to Doug and we tried to figure out what to do. There wasn’t a clear path. There is no clear, right path.
Although the little one’s pulse and heart rate were “rising” during day three of the ICU, they eventually “took a positive turn.”
According to the Syracuse University graduate, “We made it through five days.” Five days passed without the child leaving that bed. It’s all happening now. It’s the stress, the love you have for your kids, and the fragility these little bodies that totally depend on you. You have enormous responsibility for their wellbeing, and for making big decisions. The importance of good friends, family, and colleagues.
The Settle For More author thanked her husband 50 for his support, noting that it was “hard” being a single parent.
In October 2018, the political commentator told Us Weekly exclusively that her children often seek comfort from their father instead of her.
“It’s mad that a child enters my room at night and goes to [his] side of bed, not mine.” Kelly laughed at Kelly’s joke. Kelly laughed, “But I can communicate that to him, and it can be heard by him, and then we will have a discussion about it.”
After getting engaged in January 2008, the couple married in New York in March 2008.
