Krystal Neilson Shares an Update After ‘An Incredibly Tough Week’ in the NICU — More Here
Sending love.
Fans first met Krystal Nielson on Season 22 of “The Bachelor,” and she went on to appear on Season 5 of “Bachelor in Paradise.”
Since her time on the Bachelor Nation shows, she has found love off-screen with her husband Miles Bowles. The two welcomed their daughter Andara Rose in 2021.
Earlier this year, the couple shared they were expecting their second child — a baby boy. And last week, Krystal and Miles announced baby Rowan Vincent Bowles had finally arrived!
In the post, Miles shared there were unexpected complications during birth and both Krystal and Rowen were recovering in the hospital.
Now, after a week spent in the NICU, Krystal has taken to Instagram to share how her and baby are doing.
Alongside photos of their new family of four, she wrote, “After an incredibly tough week, Rowan was finally discharged from the NICU last night and we’re all home together at last. The emotions are hard to put into words — trauma, grief, and overwhelming gratitude all tangled together.”
Krystal continued and shared her gratitude for everyone who has helped during this time.
“Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for every prayer, message, and bit of love you’ve sent our way,” she said. “Being held by our family, close friends, and this amazing online community has meant more than you’ll ever know during one of the hardest weeks we’ve ever faced.”
The Bachelor Nation star then gave a brief update on how she and Rowan are recovering.
She revealed, “Everyone is healthy, stable, and home. We are so, so grateful. Now begins the slow, gentle work of healing — for all of us. 🙏”
We are so glad that Krystal and Rowan are back home and recovering well. We’re sending all our love and we’re wishing them all the best as they continue their healing journey.
