The US-based stunner said in her caption: ‘I ended up putting on a brave face and taking my brand new baby with a 102 fever (38 Celsius) to the E.R.’
‘It was the first time I broke quarantine in 2 months,’ she wrote, adding it was ‘every mom’s worst nightmare’.

Getting better: She shared a series of photos from their time in Dell Children’s Hospital in Austin including Ella being treated by a doctor. Nicole said she was concerned going that to the hospital could put her family at risk of COVID-19 when she and Ella returned home
She continued: ‘I was told by our GP to pack my bags because I might be there for a few days, I felt like I was going into the eye of the storm.’
But the doting mother was able to get her daughter promptly treated and return home safely.
Nicole went on to thank Dell Children’s Hospital in Austin, Texas for the ‘best hospital experience’.
Grateful: Luckily, the hospital had ‘extreme’ safety measures in place that ensured safety. Nicole thanked the hospital for their care and said, ‘you made me feel safe, you took care of my baby and made her laugh, and took extreme measures to make sure I came home COVID free’
