Lala Kent’s daughter, Ocean, was diagnosed with croup after having difficulty breathing, per E! News. According to Mayo Clinic, croup is an infection in the upper airway that “obstructs breathing.” It typically affects younger children and causes coughing. Understandably, Kent was very concerned and got emotional while recounting the situation on her “Give Them Lala” podcast. “Even talking about it now, it was like, ‘Oh my God, this is so scary.’ Like I asked the nurse, ‘Is my baby going to wake up tomorrow?’ Because I’m freaking out” (via Page Six). Kent added, “When they’re infants, [it] is very, very scary. Luckily Ocean’s lungs are developed, so it is something that, if you catch it quickly, is very treatable.”
Thankfully, Ocean was discharged from the hospital that same night and has been healthy since she was prescribed a steroid “to release the airway.”

Kent stayed home the rest of the weekend as a precaution and ended up missing Lisa Vanderpump’s grandson Theodore’s first birthday party on Sunday. Vanderpump seemed to spare no expense for the lavish party, which was attended by Stassi Schroeder and other “VPR” stars, according to Page Six.
