Erin Bates Paine Leaves Hospital With Newborn After 18 Days, Faces Ongoing Health Questions

Doctors are still evaluating her complications, with lingering loss of function in her right leg.

Overview

  • The Bringing Up Bates alum said on Sept. 13 she was grateful to return home nearly three weeks after Henry's Aug. 25 birth.
  • Husband Chad Paine previously said a severe UTI and kidney infection led to septic shock following delivery.
  • He also reported she suffered a lengthy, severe seizure as clinicians ran scans and tests in the ICU.
  • The family noted she was transferred to another hospital on Sept. 9, where a team coordinated care as testing continued without a single definitive diagnosis.
  • Henry was discharged from the NICU alongside his mother after about 18 days, and the family says he is doing well.
