Jessie James Decker’s 2-year-old son Forrest was hospitalized for the third time in six weeks.
The 32-year-old country singer went to Instagram on Thursday to talk about the fear that her son Forrest faces again.
“I went to the hospital again last night. 3rd time in 6 weeks. Every time he catches a little cold, he starts to pant and his oxygen levels go down and his heart rate goes up,” Decker said in the caption. “At the end of the day, I was told he has asthma, although he is too young to diagnose.”
“It is scary to see his vital signs drop, to hear his grunts and to see his chest struggling so hard to breathe. After he threw up for the 3rd time (I think I coughed so much) (without a fever), I knew it was time to welcome him”, said the singer. “They gave him stronger medicines and treatments and watched him during the night. I’m going to see an allergist to see if maybe something is triggering the attacks.”

Decker then lamented about the confusion caused by his son’s initially mysterious illnesses – especially considering that Forrest “was born at term”.
“It is so confusing for a parent to have this problem and just not know what to do or why it is happening,” she explained. “He was born at term and at 9 pounds and no problems until last year and is becoming more chronic. He’s a champion, but it breaks my heart when he says ‘mommy, my chest hurts’ in his sad little voice. I love that I post a lot of that stuff because my babies are precious to me. “
Decker then took the time to thank the other Instagram moms who offered help in their difficult times, before asking some urgent questions.
“I received some incredible advice from other instant moms that I really appreciate. Thank you. It’s that kind of mom helping the mom community here that I really appreciate. So, I just want to know from this post if any other dads have tried this? Besides an allergist and a specialist, this passed on to your babies? Is he now allergic to pet hair? “

Decker recently opened Fox News to post on social media – noting that she feels she has enough online and knows when to back off.
“I give so much, I think it should be good enough,” she explained while promoting her South Beach Diet partnership. “So, all I’m sharing is what I’m comfortable sharing with. And if I’m not sharing something, then it’s nobody’s business.”

“I feel like I give enough and if I’m not sharing something, then it’s just something I choose to be personal,” said Decker.
The country singer is married to former NFL star Eric Decker. In addition to Forrest, the couple shares daughter Vivianne, 6, and son Eric, 5.
