Hilaria Baldwin Discusses The Importance Of Keeping An Epi-Pen On Hand

On Wednesday night, Hilaria posted a photo holding her son, Edu. It looks like she took the snap from inside the hospital, as she is covering her face with a disposable mask. “Never a dull moment for us…” she began the post.

She explained that her son, Edu, “had a very bad allergic reaction today and I had to give him an epi pen.”

“I’ve never had to administer it on my own,” she admitted, calling it a “scary experience.” Fortunately, she was able to let her followers know that Edu is “ok now and home.” However, she wanted to share this story with her followers “to remind you that this is a lifesaving tool you may be able to keep around the house.”

She recalled that Edu was “in such distress and I believe it may have saved him today.”

“If your doctor thinks you should keep one at home, make sure you know how to use it in advance, because these reactions can come on so strongly and quickly,” she added, saying that she didn’t want to “bore” her audience “with the long story of rushing him out the door.”

However, she did take the time to express her “deep gratitude” to West End Pediatrics, the Mount Sinai Ambulance, and Lennox Hill Emergency.

“Fortunately, when I took this photo, he was back to himself and kicking the phone out of my hand?…I, on the other hand, was a spent wreck ?” she concluded. “Love you all and be safe.”

On April 28, a little over a month ago, she explained that her son, Rafael, 6, broke his arm playing at the park.

Hilaria Baldwin Reveals 'Rafa' Broke His Arm

On April 28, Hilaria told her Instagram followers that “Rafa broke his arm really badly yesterday, playing at the park. You will see him with a cast for quite a while now, so I wanted to give you a heads up.”

She thanked Lennox Hill emergency room for “taking such good care of our baby.” She also expressed her thanks “to the doctors and the nurses for your expertise and kindness.”

“This is a part of being a parent that is so heartbreaking,” she went on. “We were with the babies when it happened and to get that call makes your heart sink. His little voice on the phone ‘I want my mommy’…knowing even the 20 min to get to him is 20 min too long.”

“To not be able to immediately take away their pain and fear…oooof nothing prepares us for this, right?” she asked. “We were at the hospital until pretty late and then we made a bed on our floor (wild sleeper, was afraid he might fall off our bed).”

“How many times he called out for me last night, I do not know. At one point I heard him whispering to himself, recounting what happened, saying over and over: ‘I broke my arm’,” she concluded. “We are relieved that, while it will be a long recovery road, he is certainly on it ?”

Update: Hilaria Reveals Raf Is 'Frustrated' With His New Cast

On May 4, she gave fans a small update with how her little one was doing. She posted a photo of Raf lying in the grass, looking somber. Hilaria told her followers that he visited the playground for the first time since he visited the emergency room. She said that Raf was “frustrated,” adding that he “wants to be free to run and play like he could before the injury and cast.”

She continued, “To parent through this in our home means empathy and compassion for the feelings, and also the perspective that this shall pass and he will be on his way to freedom, relatively soon.”

“I’ve heard it said that we want to understand the waves of emotions and teach our children to stand on top of the wave and be able to see far into the perspective that really nothing is forever…” she concluded. “poco a poco❤️”

Hilaria and Alec share children Carmen Gabriela, 8, Rafael Thomas, 6, Leonardo Ángel Charles, 5, Romeo Alejandro David, 3 1/2, and Eduardo "Edu" Pao Lucas, who was born in September 2020. María Lucía Victoria, the couple’s newest daughter, was born last spring.
