Kelly Stafford, wife of Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, documented her daughters’ trip to the hospital and subsequent recovery in the lead up to her husband’s Monday night playoff game against the Minnesota Vikings.

On Saturday, Kelly Stafford shared a photo on her Instagram Story of two of their four children in a hospital bed, E! News reported. The couple shares four children: 7-year-old twins Sawyer and Chandler, 6-year-old Hunter, and 4-year-old Tyler.

“Last night was long,” she wrote in the now removed photo. “Back in beds and sleeping, everyone except Hunter. Feels like she drank a Celsius.”

Kelly Stafford had posted a more cheerful image of their children walking with Matthew following the initial announcement, E! News reported, where she wrote, “Before that tho, they were all smiles getting to go with daddy on his work trip.”

The Rams traveled to Arizona for the NFL Wild Card game against the Vikings. The game was relocated from SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, to State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, due to the ongoing wildfires in Southern California.

Kelly Stafford did not provide details about the hospitalization in her post, but she recently mentioned that she and two of her daughters had been sick during an episode of her podcast, “The Morning After with Kelly Stafford and Hank [Winchester].”

“I can’t think straight, I currently believe I have the flu,” she said at the start of the episode, which was released last week. “Two of my daughters have the flu and I wasn’t able to move yesterday at the game.”

Reflecting on her condition during the Jan. 5 Rams game against the Seattle Seahawks, she added, “I passed out on a little bench in the suite. We had like all of our friends in town and I was a real downer. Body aches are serious.”

The Staffords have also evacuated from their home amid the ongoing wildfires in Southern California, E! News reported.

Matthew Stafford at a Thursday press conference said that he hopes the Rams’ face-off against the Vikings will be a “great escape for people who have been going through a lot of tough times.”

“We play for the people in this community, the people that support us,” he said. “And this week will be another example of that.”

Kelly Stafford shared an update about the family on Sunday, featuring two of her girls at an Arizona Waffle House on her Instagram Story, writing, “Found our happy place in AZ. I promise we are happy, just still 🤕.”

Representatives for Kelly Stafford did not immediately respond to an NBC News request for comment on Monday.
