Bode Miller's wife, Morgan Miller (née Beck), is speaking out about a scary situation that recently affected her family.
The former pro beach volleyball player took to Instagram on Friday morning, July 28, with footage of her children receiving treatment in the hospital, which was needed as a result of carbon monoxide poisoning.
In the video, the couple's twin boys Asher and Aksel, 3½, and daughter Scarlet Olivia, 19 months, can be seen in the emergency room with breathing masks over their faces.
The 36-year-old mom explained what led to the situation in the upload's caption, sharing that construction work at the family's home led to the children's medical condition.
"Receiving a lot of messages so addressing it here… Two weeks ago, we had a crane at our house to remove our broken hot tub. Asher, Aksel and Scarlet innocently stood on the front step of our house to watch the action which resulted in them getting carbon monoxide poisoning due to the lack of airflow in our driveway, landing them in the ER," she wrote alongside the social media update.
"They were on high-flow oxygen for over four hours," she continued. "It was a terrifying experience, but thanking my lucky stars they are okay."
Someone in the comment section of the post further asked how the athlete knew something was wrong with her kids, which she responded to with more details on warning signs and the specific symptoms her children experienced.
"Asher was complaining of an upset stomach and was white as a ghost. When I laid him down to look at his stomach, he started to pass out," she revealed, adding, "I rushed him to the ER and they ran all the tests which all came back normal. I wrote the nanny to check on the other kids and she said Aksel was starting to have the same symptoms."
She continued: "I notified the nurse and she said if there’s ever more than one with the same symptoms then they check for carbon monoxide poisoning and sure enough that’s what it was. They had us clear the house and bring everyone down to get tested and they sent the fire department up to check our home."
The former World Cup alpine ski racer also opened up about the situation in a since-deleted Instagram post of his own, where he noted his little ones getting "really sick" as a result of the ordeal, urging at the end of his caption: "Reminder to go test your CO detectors."
Aside from the toddler and twins, the couple also shares Easton, 4, and Nash, 7, as well as late daughter Emmy, who died as a result of accidental drowning at 19 months old in June 2018. Additionally, Bode is dad to son Nate, 10, and daughter Dace, 14, from previous relationships.
