Danielle Fishelis giving fans an update on the condition of her newborn son after he was born one month early.
“We’re still in the hospital but Adler is getting better and stronger every day,” Fishel, 38,wrote alongside a close-up photo of her son’s onesiethat read “I love pasta” — seemingly a gift from Olive Garden, who previously sent the starthree pairs of customized sneakersfor her family.
“@jensenkarp and I keep reminding ourselves that we are extremely lucky – Adler will eventually come home with us – and therefore this is nothing but an enormous test of our patience and willingness to relinquish control,” Fishel continued. “Two things I have never been plentiful in but are absolutely necessary in parenthood! 😬”
The actress — who also previously starred inGirl Meets World, a sequel spinoff of the popular ’90s sitcom — went on to praise the hospital staff for taking care of her son, as well as all of their supporters for helping her family through this difficult time.
“He is also receiving the best possible care from the most loving, warm, kind, intelligent nurses and doctors the world has ever known! Literal angels,” Fishel shared. “Thank you to everyone who has sent their messages of encouragement, hope, love, and prayers for our family. They have comforted us and been such an inspiration when we’ve felt down.”
Fishel and Karp, 39,announced the early arrivalof their first child in a post on Instagram on July 1.
“One week ago today, on 6/24 at 4:52am, Adler Lawrence Karp made his entrance into the world, 4 weeks early,” Fishel began thecaption on her post. “My water broke on 6/20, one day before my work week directing at Raven’s Home ended and my maternity leave began. I was hospitalized that night and put on magnesium sulfate because Adler was only 35 weeks old.”
“Unfortunately, after doing an ultrasound, our amazing OB discovered fluid in his lungs that was not there during our last appointment only 10 days earlier — and thus we entered a nightmare we’ll never forget,” she recalled.
“[T]he deeply good doctors and nurses in the NICU are working diligently to find out why the fluid is there and determine the best way to get it out,” Fishel continued. “This has been the most trying week and a half of mine and @jensenkarp’s lives but we have gotten through it with the support of our incredible family and friends who have shown up for us in unexpected ways.”
Despite feeling “helpless and powerless” and wanting “so badly to follow our ‘birth plan,'” Fishel said that she and Karp had become incredibly close from the difficult experience.
She also revealed that they “struggled with making this announcement” because they’ve been dealing with “prying eyes — aka paparazzi staked outside our house,” which she said they were “much too fragile for” at the moment and asked for space.
The actressannounced her pregnancyin an emotional social media post in January.
