Mercedes ‘MJ’ Javid in ICU After Welcoming First Child
“Shahs of Sunset” star Mercedes 'MJ' Javid faced major complications after giving birth to son Shams Francris Feight on Wednesday.
Mercedes had to undergo emergency surgery to “save her life.” The following day, her husband Tommy Feight revealed on Instagram, “The night my son was born was the worst night of my life. My wife had a ton of complications. She was in surgery for like five hours. They didn't tell me nothing. But they're amazing at Cedars. They saved her life.”
Tommy noted that the 46-year-old is “still in ICU.” He added, “She still hasn't held her baby yet. That should probably happen later today though.”
As for their bundle of joy, Tommy shared, “He, on the other hand, is looking great. He couldn't be happier.”
Feight joked, “He's pissed on every nurse who worked there. They have him in a tanning bed now with glasses on, no joke. A day old and already in a tanning bed. He couldn't be more like his mother if he tried. She went spray tanning before we went to the hospital!”
