Mariah Carey Updates Fans on Nick Cannon’s Condition Via Twitter
Earlier this week, Mariah Carey, 41, and Nick Cannon, 31, suffered a setback in Aspen, Colorado, when Cannon was hospitalized for “mild kidney failure.”
The pair were vacationing with their twins, Moroccan and Monroe, when Cannon suddenly fell ill. He was later moved to a hospital in Los Angeles, but according to Carey, has been suffering and in pain since the illness hit. A friend of Cannon’s, DJ Irie, told People that Cannon’s unexplained illness came as quite a shock- as the America’s Got Talent judge tends to lead a rather clean-cut lifestyle:
“I was beyond shocked when I learned Nick had a kidney issue… Of all the people, he is healthy beyond belief. He does not drink, he eats healthy, and he works out regularly.”
It seems Cannon is on the mend, however, as Carey updated her Twitter followers earlier today that she hopes her husband will get sprung from the hospital soon. Carey said:
“Thank you everyone for all the love & concern… Nick is in stable condition with a good prognosis, hopefully he’ll be discharged within 2 days. As always he’s laughing and in good spirits.”
It looks like Cannon’s “mild kidney failure” came on rather suddenly, as just prior to the star falling ill, pictures of the happy family out and about in Aspen- in matching white buntings and camel-colored boots- was posted to the internet. Doctors say such ailments can be brought about by bouts of dehydration as well as use of over-the-counter painkillers like Advil or Motrin.
