Marie Osmond’s Newborn Granddaughter Rushed to ICU
Singer Marie Osmond is asking for prayers for her new granddaughter.
On Thursday, Marie tweeted, “Asking for prayers for my precious granddaughter born this evening 6lbs 10 ounces. So thankful she was able to be taken to children's ICU in one of our amazing @CMNHospitals #gratitude that she is in their care!”
In a statement to People, Marie revealed that daughter Brianna, 21, and her cinematographer husband Dave Schwep, 42, are the parents. She said, “My daughter, Brianna, gave birth to a beautiful little girl. Mom is doing well and my granddaughter is currently in a pediatric ICU. Thankfully, the prognosis looks great for our little angel. We are grateful she is in exceptional hands with her team of doctors and nurses. We ask for your continued thoughts and prayers.”
The baby arrived later than expected, according to Brianna and Dave's baby registry on Amazon.
A few weeks ago, Dave and Brianna enjoyed a babymoon at Surf and Sand Resort in Laguna Beach.
