Erin Bates Transferred to New Hospital as Husband Reports Small Steps in Recovery

She developed septic shock from postnatal infections after son Henry’s birth, followed days later by a prolonged seizure.

Overview

  • Chad Paine said Erin was moved to a new facility where a team of doctors is coordinating her care and that progress is coming in small steps.
  • He shared a new hospital video and thanked supporters, noting the couple misses their other children during the extended stay.
  • Family updates say Erin’s ICU admission followed a severe UTI and kidney infection that triggered septic shock after delivery.
  • Chad previously disclosed a severe seizure on September 3, which a pastor described to their congregation as a roughly 15‑minute grand mal episode.
  • Newborn Henry has remained in the NICU, as relatives and friends—including the Bates family and members of the Duggar family—offer prayers and support, with brother Lawson traveling to Florida.
