Some stars have continued to open up about their health battles — including with something as serious as septic shock.

According to the Mayo Clinic, sepsis is a serious condition in which the body improperly responds to an infection, causing the organs to work poorly.

In August 2025, Bringing Up Bates star Erin Bates went into septic shock after giving birth to her seventh baby, Henry.

“Erin developed a severe UTI and kidney infection, which sent her into septic shock,” Bates’ husband, Chad Paine, wrote via Instagram. “She is currently still in the ICU as doctors continue to treat, diagnose and search for answers. We would covet your prayers for this beautiful girl who is such a light in a dark world. We are holding onto God’s promises.”
