Megyn Kelly’s 8-year-old son, Thatcher, recently injured his spleen during a family ski trip. Update:

show cohost noted, saying, “He didn’t have his skis on. He had on his ski boots. Again, he’s only 8. It was the end of the day, and he was tired, and apparently he didn’t have the strength to make the climb that’s necessary to get into this little cave, and he fell.”

Kelly’s youngest child later told her that he fell 10 feet “and landed on some rocks.” A CT scan at the hospital showed internal bleeding and three tears in Thatcher’s spleen.Douglas Brunt , went on to say. “What do you do? Because the bleeding is not stopping. We don’t want him to lose the spleen. If there’s any way of repairing it, we’d like to do that, but it’s not safe to move him. … As the news kept coming in that the bleeding was ongoing, and I’m talking to Doug, and we’re trying to figure out what to do, there’s not a clear course. There’s not a clear, right course.”

While the little one’s heart rate and pulse “was rising” on day three in the ICU, he eventually “took a turn for the better.” The Syracuse University grad explained, “We managed to make it through the five days. The kid did not leave that bed for five days. … I’m feeling it now. The amount of stress and the love that you have for your children, and the fragility of these little bodies who totally depend on you. And the enormous responsibility you have for their well-being, for making huge decisions. And the importance of family and friends and good colleagues.
