Last weekend Brandi Glanville’s son Mason was hospitalized for an undisclosed medical emergency. I found that very odd because Brandi tweeted pictures of Mason in the ambulance and tweets every little thing that happens. So why not tell the world what happened to her kid? So of course now I must know what happened.
Finally, I found out. Mason was rushed to the hospital with anaphylactic shock. My sources were not clear on what caused the boy to go into shock specifically, but anaphylactic shock is basically a severe allergic reaction. In kids it usually turns out to be a food allergy, usually to nuts or shellfish. It can also be caused by bites from fire ants or bee stings. The symptoms (burning, itching skin, difficulty breathing, rapidly falling blood pressure, fainting, etc.) can be fatal if treatment is not received in a timely manner.
Generally, the treatment is a shot of epinephrine and some monitoring in the hospital for a few hours after symptoms abate. After it happens once, the patient will usually be prescribed an epi pen to be carried at all times in case they accidentally come into contact with the allergen again.
So anyway. Now you know. The boys are back in California and as far as we know Brandi is still working on Celebrity Apprentice.
