Arthur Gourounlian was left distressed when his mother, Maria, was rushed to hospital this week.
Just hours after he delighted viewers on the first live show of Dancing with the Stars, Arthur explained that his mother was brought to hospital with stomach pains.
“On Saturday, mama started to feel weak and fainty so with some medication, you always think you will fix things. She also tried to rest,” he explained.
“She was meant to be coming to see me in the show last night, but the whole day she was still weak, so we decided for her to stay in bed and relax.”
He went on to say: “This morning at 2.30 – 3am, her stomach started to hurt BIG time, and with all the symptoms she had, it turned out she had diverticulitis, a word that I had never heard before in my life.
Arthur added that they “rushed to the hospital” explaining that his mum “wasn’t good, but is stable now.”
Thankfully, the story has a happy ending.
“Good afternoon we’ve just been discharged. I lost my voice. I can’t keep explaining over and over translating everything. Everyone was so nice, they really helped us. I have the patient here, she is full of beans now.
“This wasn’t the face this morning. This definitely wasn’t the face this morning. The amount of blood they took from your hands it’s crazy. Thank you so much for all of your messages. Now I have to get my baby from aunty Tara… I’m so relived, super relaxed,” he explained.
We’re delighted that Maria is feeling better.
