Erin Bates is going through a rough time in the ICU right now, but fans are worried about her sister, Michael. She has been trying to get pregnant for some time, and it just hasn’t worked out for her. After it not happening, she has started to be a foster mom and is taking care of two young children right now. So what are the fans worried about?
Michael Bates Is In Florida With Erin
Right now, Michael Bates is in Florida with her sister Erin. Pictures have been posted of her with the baby. She looks very happy, but fans are worried she is the one taking care of him. Considering they are in the hospital, there is no reason that would be the case. Erin has other family around, including her husband, Chad. Michael is a very busy girl right now, though.

What Are Fans Worried About?
The fans are worried that Michael Bates is the one taking care of Henry and that is just too much on her plate for her. A fan commented saying, “Boy she is getting baptized by fire, got two babies, lost her grandfather, and is taking care of her sisters baby in another state. I think all in 3 months? Praying for the family.”
Well, Kelly Jo Bates, who is running the Bates Family Blog replied to it. This is what they said, “Not necessary true that she is taking care of Henry. She might just be visiting her sister and nephew right now.” It looks like Michael is just there to lend support. You can easily assume that Chad, the nurses and everyone else is taking care of Henry. She just loved the chance to get to hold him and share some pictures with him.

This is sad to fans, but at least they do a good job of updating them still.
