Emmy Russell and her Tyler Ward are asking for prayers after their baby daughter, Taylor Raydiant, was hospitalized over the weekend for seizures.
The 2024 “American Idol” finalist and granddaughter of country music legend Loretta Lynn posted an update on Monday after an emotional video was posted Sunday on social media.
“She did spasm this morning,” she posted. “She has the EEG, so we will see what her results are and next steps. The neurologist should be coming in very soon. Please continue to pray.”
On Sunday, her baby was rushed to the hospital with signs of spasms.
“We’ve noticed that little Taylor has had some seizures, and we took her to the hospital today,” she posted Sunday. “We really do believe in the power of prayer, so we’re just asking you to come alongside us in this moment.”
Russell, 26, said the baby was place on an EEG to monitor brain activity.
“Just pray for like, normal brain waves,” she said. “She’s been having these spasms, kind of just like she’s falling almost … they were just really concerned about it and wanted to do some checking.”
The singer explained the child was fussy and she and her singer-songwriter husband believed it was a result of teething. However, they saw what they believed to be spasms and rushed to the hospital.
