JIMMIE Allen is breathing a sigh of relief, after his six-week-old daughter resumed breathing on her own and was taken off oxygen.
The tiny tot was hospitalized just two days before Thanksgiving with an unknown issue.
While she sadly remains hospitalized, dad Jimmie did share a positive update on Twitter: “Zara is doing a lot better. She’s off oxygen and breathing on her own. Hopefully she stays like this and can go home soon.
“Thanks for the well wishes, positive energy and prayer.”
The good news is a welcome end to a scary saga for the 36-year-old Grammy nominee, who shared online he and his wife Alexis were initially rejected from the first hospital where they seeked help.
Instead, Jimmie took the child to another hospital for life-saving treatment.
“Attention Doctors , if the parent of your one month old patient tells you the child (is) having a hard time breathing and the only thing your lazy self wants to do is check her heart and temperature find another career,” he shared on both Instagram and Twitter at the time.
“Your job is to save lives, so do it.
“Now thanks to the lazy doctors at a hospital in TN that just sent our daughter home, our daughter Zara lost color stopped breathing and is being rushed to another hospital.
“Thanks to the amazing EMT team that brought back Zara’s color she can breath again. Gonna be a rough night.”
A MOTHER’S FURY
Just a day earlier, Alexis shared on Instagram that both of their kids were sick.
The registered nurse also slammed doctors for not taking her daughter’s unknown condition seriously.
She wrote: “Turned away by hospital yesterday AM Ambulance at 2 a.m. Basically if your child isn’t blue at the lips they will not have answers for you. That’s been my last 24 hours.
“Not one doctor has taken the time to actually listen and make sure she’s really OK –10 min in and outs.
“What this nurse mama is seeing/hearing is so frightening.”
POSITIVE UPDATE
Hours after finally getting the care they so desperately seeked, Alexis provided an update.
“The hardest days of my life,” Alexis wrote alongside a photo of a sleeping Zara grabbing her mom’s finger in the hospital. The baby was also strapped into an oxygen machine.
“She is stable but still needing oxygen and suctioning frequently.
“We will give you an update once Z is healthy and heading home with us. Thank you so much for all of your kind words and prayers it truly means the world to our family.”
HAPPY FAMILY
Jimmie and Alexis married last year.
The couple share Zara, 1 month, and Naomi, 1. Jimmie is also dad to a 7-year-old son, Aadyn, from a previous relationship.
The 36-year-old recently became the first black musician to win ACMs’ ‘New Male Artist of the Year’ award.
Earlier this month, he was eliminated from Dancing with the Stars, but has since revealed he will be joining the upcoming arena tour.
