Carey relayed the following message to all of her fans:
This is us in the hospital – role reversal; Last year it was me attached to the machines (after having dembabies) and Nick was there with me through it, and now here we are.
We’re trying to be as festive as possible under the circumstances but please keep Nick in your thoughts because this is very painful. They tried to kick me out of the hospital but here I am pon de bed with Mr. C.
We’re doing OK but we’re “straaaaaanded in Aspen”. #DramaticDivaPlace (I know, we could be in a lot worse places) but the truth is as long as we’re together, we’re OK. I’m not trying to make light out of the situation because it’s a serious moment that’s very tough on all of us so please keep us and our family in your prayers. LYM.
Cannon and Carey, who have renewed their marital vows annually since they wed three years ago, were vacationing in the snow playground of the rich and famous with their 8-month-old twins, Monroe and Moroccan. Cannon fell ill on Wednesday and was rushed to a nearby hospital.
Meanwhile, Carey took to Twitter and tweeted not only the same picture she posted on her website (posted left) but the following plea:
@MariahCarey Mariah Carey
Please pray for Nick as he’s fighting to recover from a mild kidney failure.
Nick, we wish you well.
