'Fox and Friends First' anchor Heather Childers reveals she was suffering from life-threatening spinal injury
For those not familiar with Heather Childers, she is a popular American news anchor and, more specifically, the face of 'Fox and Friends First', an early morning show on Fox News Channel. In the recent past, though, the host of this 4 am show has been a no-show with reports confirming that Childers has been away on an emergency medical leave.
After a brief break, the 49-year-old television host would finally be resuming her role as the Fox programme host on Tuesday, September 4. Ahead of her rejoining the network, however, Childers opened up about her medical emergency in a candid post, explaining the shocking and sudden reason that forced her to focus her attention towards her health.
"I've been away from my job as 4 am to 5 am host on the show since July 13, but I’m very happy to be returning Tuesday – after a shocking medical emergency and surgery to avoid being paralyzed for the rest of my life," Childers wrote, opening up about her close brush with a prospect lifetime paralysis. "Take it from me: ignoring a health problem won’t make it go away. Don't make excuses when you are dealing with real physical symptoms, or wait for a medical emergency before you see a doctor."
