Doctors remain unsure about the cause of her right‑leg impairment during her at‑home recovery.

Overview

  • In a Sept. 23 video, Paine teared up recalling how close the family came to losing Erin after the birth of their seventh child, Henry.
  • After delivery, Erin developed a severe infection that led to septic shock and seizures, keeping her hospitalized for nearly three weeks before she went home around Sept. 13.
  • She currently cannot use her right leg and is using a wheelchair as specialists continue evaluations.
  • Clinicians have not pinpointed a definitive cause for the complications but are described as hopeful about her recovery.
  • Paine reported that newborn Henry is healthy and “doing great,” and he thanked supporters for their prayers.
