The Real Housewives of Orange County mom shared on her Instagram that Nicholas was in the hospital on Sunday, January 26. "We had a little scare yesterday with our sweet Nicholas. He Had some sort of reaction," Gina wrote in the post published January 27. "It was very scary but he is home and fine!!" 

The post featured a photo of Nicholas sleeping in a hospital bed. It was tagged at one of Mission Hospital's locations.

Gina also thanked everyone at Mission Hospital for taking such good care of her son. "Thank you so so much to all the nurses, doctors and staff @mission_hospital," she wrote in the post. "It makes such a difference when you are surrounded by smart and compassionate people trying to help you."

Luckily, Gina usually has much happier moments with her children (she is also mom to daughter Sienna and son Luca) to share on Instagram, such as the below joy-filled photo of Nicholas she posted a few days before his hospital visit. "This smile makes it all worth it," Gina gushed in the caption, along with "#thisismyboy," "#iwillraisehimright," "#kindboy," and "#proudmom."
