TV personality Whitney Rose, known for her role on Bravo’s reality show “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City,” has requested prayers from her fans after her 14-year-old daughter, Bobbie, was admitted to the hospital due to a health emergency. In an Instagram Story that has since expired, Rose asked her community to pray for her daughter who was transported via ambulance to the intensive care unit after experiencing a severe asthma exacerbation.
Asthma exacerbations are complications of chronic lung disease and affect nearly 28 million people in the United States. According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, asthma exacerbations can be fatal and contribute to about one-third of all deaths from asthma among those hospitalized with the condition.
The Mayo Clinic describes asthma exacerbations as episodes characterized by a progressive worsening of symptoms such as coughing, shortness of breath, wheezing, and chest tightness.
On Monday morning, Rose expressed gratitude on Instagram for the kindness and prayers received from followers. However, she did not provide any updates regarding her daughter’s condition at that time.
Whitney Rose is an original cast member of “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City,” which premiered in November 2020. The show features cast members who are current or former members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In an interview with The Salt Lake Tribune shortly after the show’s debut, Rose discussed how openly discussing her religious upbringing on the show has affected her relationships with Mormon family members.
Despite initial hesitations about joining the series and putting her family in the public eye, Rose ultimately decided to be real and authentic about sharing her life on television. She expressed happiness with that decision but acknowledged that it has been challenging for some family members who do not share the same views on religion.
As we await further updates on Bobbie’s condition from Whitney Rose herself or official sources close to them both; let us keep them in our thoughts during this difficult time.
