Christina Haack and ex-husband Tarek El Moussa’s 6-year-old son Brayden is recovering after undergoing emergency surgery.
The “Christina on the Coast” star posted a photo of Brayden asleep on a hospital bed on Sunday, revealing in her caption that he got his appendix and a part of his small intestine removed.
“Scary 12 hours for us parents + step parents,” Haack, 38, explained. “After being admitted to the ER, Brayden had to have an emergency appendectomy as well as removal of Meckel’s diverticulum early this morning.”
Haack said that there was no feeling like seeing her child “in excruciating pain,” but fortunately, he’s in “good spirits” after a successful surgery.
“He’s such a strong boy,” the HGTV star, 40, said of Brayden. “And of course he told me he’s very excited to eat real food tomorrow. He’s obsessed with food just like his daddy❤️.”
He added, “Very scary day, but we all banned together as a family to get through it.”

Meanwhile, Haack alleged that Anstead wanted to “tarnish” her name with the “false allegations,” which included claims that she spent only “9 full days each month” with Hudson over the last 20 months.
The exes have a hearing set for June 28.
