Lauren Bushnell Lane Shares Health Update After Newborn Son Dutton's Hospital Visit
Lauren Bushnell Lane’s newborn son, Dutton, returned home on Monday following a visit to the emergency room.
“Home and resting!” the Bachelor Nation mom wrote alongside an Instagram Story photo of her baby boy. “Thanks everyone for the prayers. Hopefully we keep resting and getting better.”
Lauren — who shares Dutton with her husband, country singer Chris Lane — also shared video footage from her family’s “rough” evening.
“Went to ER at 9 p.m. thinking Dutton had an ear infection,” she captioned the clip. “14 hours later, we are home and resting but basically, he has a common virus (basically a cold) and ear infection, but with babies so small and under 28 days old, they worry about meningitis and do a full work up and spinal tap.”
Lauren added, “Thankfully, we just have to give him meds and keep an eye and pray it doesn’t turn respiratory or get any secondary infections.”
Chris first revealed that he and Lauren took Dutton to the hospital on Sunday, writing on his Instagram Story, “Spent the night in the hospital. If you pray, Dutty Buddy needs some prayers.”
The Nashville-based couple — who wed in October 2019 and shared their pregnancy news in December 2020 — welcomed their son on June 8.
“Your dad and I can’t get enough of all 9 pounds of you,” Lauren wrote on Instagram at the time, announcing Dutton’s arrival. “Now back to baby cuddles and praising Jesus over and over again for this little miracle!!”
