Chad, 38, has been sharing updates on his wife’s condition via Instagram, and his latest post had everyone in tears.
He posted a video of himself reading a lengthy hand-crafted letter from their 8-year-old daughter, Brooklyn, to Erin, 34, while she lay motionless in her hospital bed.
The TV personality was seen getting very emotional, as her weeping husband read the sweet note.
In the end, Chad comforted Erin with a kiss on the cheek and assured her she “will get better” and be reunited with their children soon.
“A moment we never want to forget. Being away from our babies has been harder than we ever imagined. Our hearts ache to be together again,” Chad captioned the post.
The comments flooded with positive thoughts from fans, praying for Erin’s recovery.
SCARY SILENCE
Earlier this week, Chad’s followers expressed their worries after the TV star suddenly stopped providing updates after revealing over the weekend that Erin was on the “road to recovery.”
Fans feared that Erin’s condition might’ve declined shortly thereafter, prompting Chad’s silence.
However, he returned on Tuesday to announce that Erin had been transferred to a new hospital and was continuing her fight to get better.
He shared a clip of the couple crying while holding each other in Erin’s new hospital room.
Chad also wrote in his caption that it had “completely broken my heart” to watch his wife in so much pain and suffering, and that he felt inspired by her bravery.
The UPtv alum hasn’t revealed if their family has visited with Erin yet, although several members of the Bates clan have shared online that they’ve traveled to town.
Erin’s brother, Lawson Bates, and his wife, Tiffany, revealed on Instagram that they made the trip to Florida and were helping to take care of her and Chad’s older kids.
In addition to Brooklyn and their newborn son, Henry Blythe, Erin and Chad are parents to Carson, Everly, Holly, Finley, and William.
Our hearts ache to be together again.
Chad Paines
Erin gave birth to their last baby boy on August 25, and the labor was considerably “more intense” than with their older kids, according to Chad’s earlier Instagram post.
As a result, she developed a “severe” UTI [urinary tract infection], kidney infection, went into septic shock, and suffered “lengthy and severe seizures” in the days after.
Erin and Chad had been open about their struggles to conceive after undergoing numerous miscarriages due to a blood-clotting issue.
After their son Carson was born in 2015, Erin had three surgeries to remove her ovaries and went on to have six more children.
Fans followed their story on the former reality series, Bringing Up Bates, which documented Erin’s family as one of 18 children.
The show ran on UPtv for 11 seasons from 2015 to 2021.
