Erin Bates' husband, Chad Paine, had an emotional response to seeing his wife fighting for her life after welcoming their newborn son, Henry. "That last three weeks have been a whirlwind of emotions and an experience that we probably could have never dreamed or thought up," Paine, 38, said in a YouTube video uploaded on Monday, September 23. After giving birth, Bates, 34, developed a severe infection that sent her body into shock. She was hospitalized for three weeks before eventually going home on September 13. Paine thanked everyone who sent prayers their way while Bates was in the hospital.
