It was Sid who was hurt, and Mollen offered a “Thank you to all of the nurses, neurologists, pediatricians, residents, cafeteria staff and brave women that keep the visitor’s bathrooms clean.”
Sid was released from the hospital and is now at home, she said, adding “it has been a traumatic week but Sid is home now taking things slowly and recovering nicely.”
“He is also eating a lot of chocolate dipped ice cream cones and plans to try cherry dipped soon.”
The 39-year-old also thanked her husband for his support, saying “thank God for you.”
Biggs and Mollen got married in 2008, and the two had two sons, including a 1-year-old.
“My heart goes out to all parents who have or will ever find themselves in this kind of position. You are not alone…” Mollen explained.
In the past, Mollen has gone on Instagram to express her worries as a mother, including one instance when her 1-year-old was bitten by a dog on Thanksgiving Day.
Her post about her 5-year-old’s health scare prompted a number of commenters to react.
“I so so appreciate you using your platform to be transparent about something that is so mortifying but also so common. [Expletive] happens. I hope everyone is recovering well,” one user wrote.
The Office star Angela Kinsey offered words of support in the post, saying, “Sending you and your family my love. I am so glad Sid is okay!! That must have been so scary. As parents, we try out best but things can go south in a split second. Thank you for sharing.”
