Scandal

Heather Childers has opened up about her return to Fox News after a shocking medical emergency and surgery to avoid being paralyzed for the rest of her life.

She said she decided to share her story with everyone including her TV audience about her absence for almost eight weeks. She does not want to be forgotten.

In addition, she said, one of the best things that ended up happening was hundreds of people reaching out to her, and each similar story and learning from her mistakes.

Before early July while she was hosting Fox & Friends First, she was just ignoring her medical problem symptoms. Her shooting pains started ricocheting through the right side of her head.

Her ferocious headache might go away. But it didn’t for four long days.

Then she went to the hospital for an MRI of her brain. Thankfully, she saw an outstanding neurologist who ordered an MRI not only of her brain but also of her neck, after a series of tests on her reflexes.

Then came the frightening news: “There’s a 100 percent chance you won’t be walking when you are older and you could hit a pothole the wrong way and be paralyzed right now” the doctor said.

She had a serious problem with her spine and something called cervical spinal stenosis with myelopathy. In plain English, that means her spinal cord was being dangerously compressed in her neck.

She needed surgery as soon as possible to keep things from getting any worse.

Turns out that the compression of her spine began years ago when she was in a car wreck at 16 years old resulting in traumatic injuries to her head and neck. She didn’t know about it at all.

In the year before her surgery, she had been experiencing moments when her legs felt a dead and heavy numb feeling where she would beat her legs to try to make the feeling come back.

Other times, she experienced shooting pains and cramping in her legs. She has also been diagnosed with low iron and vitamin D deficiency.
