Ben Foden and wife Jackie’s 3-year-old daughter Farrah was rushed to the hospital earlier this week, after a painful accident.
The couple, who tied the knot in August 2019, took to their Instagram Stories on Tuesday to document the hospital trip.
Alongside a photo of her rugby player husband holding his daughter’s hand as she lay on a hospital bed, Jackie wrote: “What summer vaca is complete without a trip to the ER.”
She later explained: “Farrah was jumping into the foam pit at ferox (which is a parkour gymnasium down the block) off those gymnastics jumping platforms, not even just the ledge into the pit, off an elevated metal platform they have at the edge of the pit.”
“And some moron kid had removed most of the foam blocks right in front of the jump, which no one regulates, which I didn’t realize from my angle i was sitting at, be there were still a couple left, so it’s hard to judge the depth, and she jumped in and her foot hit the floor inside the pit, which insanely wasn’t padded.”
“Also, the entire place is completely unsupervised, they have a bunch of staff that lingers around but pays ZERO attention to anything going on or to what kids are doing/ altering equipment etc.”
“SO in Farrah’s case, it’s a hairline fracture in the front of her foot, but be babies slip out of casts so easily they have to cast up to the thigh, she can’t walk or do anything for the next 4-6 weeks, which is unfathomable to even think about for a toddler. So yah, pray for us.”
Ben and Jackie welcomed their daughter Farrah in May 2020.
Ben also shares two children with his ex-wife Una Healy – Aoife Belle, 11, and Tadhg, 8.
