Stassi Schroeder and Beau Clark have brought their daughter, Hartford, back home after she was taken to the hospital. The 2-year-old experienced rapid and aggressive breathing, which doctors believe is "reactive airways disease" or pediatric asthma, in addition to a virus. The pregnant Vanderpump Rules alum, 35, shared the update on her Instagram Story, describing her daughter as a brave little soldier.
Clark, who is 43 years old, cautioned parents to take immediate action if their children are experiencing respiratory problems. He shared a video on Instagram showing his daughter's abnormal breathing, taken just before they brought her to the doctor. After spending 6 hours at the hospital, Clark reported that his daughter's breathing had slightly improved but was still challenging. The main concern was her abdomen's abnormal movements. He mentioned that she would be on albuterol for the next two days to manage her breathing issue. However, if her condition deteriorated, they might have to return to the hospital that night. Currently, she is enjoying an ice cream cone while sitting on the couch and watching Frozen.

Earlier in the day, the couple revealed that they were in the emergency room amid their child’s health scare.
Last night, Hartford's breathing became rapid and labored, resembling the portrayal of turning individuals in zombie movies," Clark wrote on an Instagram Story. "She's now using her second breathing apparatus, which is designed to expand her lungs further. We are currently waiting, hoping that this treatment will be successful this time. I will provide an update once we have more information. It's incredibly frightening to witness your child in this state."
Schroeder and Clark became parents in January 2021 when they welcomed Hartford. The couple, who legally tied the knot in 2020 and are set to have a wedding in 2022, are currently expecting their second child, a baby boy. After announcing her pregnancy, the former reality star expressed openness to the possibility of expanding their family further in the future.
In March, she revealed her desire to have a large family, stating, "I dream of having many children." However, she acknowledged the financial and time-consuming aspects of raising children. She expressed the importance of being able to provide ample attention and resources to each child, which makes her hesitant to have more than two. While she currently believes two children are ideal, she mentioned the possibility of changing her mind in the future.
