Cole and Savannah have three children and a fourth on the way. They've shared multiple milestones in their kids' lives, such as their daughter's 2nd surprise birthday party, gymnastics recitals, and the arrival of a new tooth. Unfortunately, their latest post wasn't exactly good news.

Cole and Savannah LaBrant Reveal Their Son "Had a Rough Seizure" Hours Before They Were Scheduled To Give Birth

Cole posted the latest on his Instagram; he shared three photos and wrote a detailed caption about what transpired yesterday. His wife Savannah was meant to be induced the previous night at midnight but something happened that threw a wrench in their plans.

"Our Z had a rough seizure just hours before we were supposed to go in," Cole wrote. "We think it was caused by a spiked fever. He stopped breathing for awhile and went lifeless while I performed CPR on him until the paramedics showed up."

"He slowly came to and appears to have fully recovered after spending a few hours in the hospital," he continued. "Please pray for this boy. Please pray for my wife and our new baby girl we can’t wait to meet."

They cancelled the scheduled induction and they're "trusting God's timing on when baby girl will come." The photos show their son Zealand laying in the hospital bed and in the ambulance with Savannah. He seems to be recovering well, but it's clear how frightening this experience was for the LaBrant family.

"My wife is the strongest person I know and there’s nobody I’d rather share these good and terrible moments with," he concluded. "Yesterday was easily the scariest day of our lives and just thankful to have our Zealand with us."
