Flashing a smile as glorious as the one she displayed 16 hours earlier onstage in L.A., Britney Spears stepped off her chartered jet at Mississippi’s tiny McComb-Pike County Airport on Nov. 7. She balanced son Preston, 3, on one hip while a nanny helped his brother, Jayden, 2. Britney’s dad, Jamie Spears, and her brother, Bryan, were by her side; mom Lynne welcomed her on the tarmac.

 

It was the beginning of a perfect family reunion, until it all came crashing down. At a Nov. 9 barbecue lunch at Serenity, Britney’s estate in Kentwood, La., Jayden began having problems breathing, became non-responsive and developed hives. Britney immediately called 9-1-1.

 

“She was told it would take 30 minutes for the ambulance to get to her, so she was advised to drive to the hospital,” a source tells OK!. With a bodyguard at the wheel, they raced to Southwest Mississippi Regional Medical Center.

 

“The doctors weren’t able to immediately identify the problem, but later determined Jayden had suffered an allergic reaction to something he’d eaten,” says a source. The “something” was shellfish, a member of Kevin Federline’s family tells OK!.

 

“Jayden’s had a sensitivity to shellfish in the past, although he’s never been formally tested for it. He has been now,” the source continues, adding, “Britney was extremely upset.”

 

Thankfully, Jayden was released from the hospital and able to return home to his family on the evening of Nov. 10.

 

Before the medical crisis, the family, including Britney’s sister, Jamie Lynn, 17, her fiancé, Casey Aldridge, 19, and their 5-month-old daughter, Maddie, were catching up with the star. With the Dec. 2 release of her album Circus, Britney is set for a huge comeback.

It's good that we have the truth about it. At least this shouldn't be turned into something that was Britney's fault or her being careless!

 

Glad he's doing fine now too. ^_^

I hate how OK! make out like K-Feds family know more about Jaydens health than Britney does...

That's true ... although this is a relatively un-damaging article :lol: And as Xylem says, it doesn't make it look like it was her fault.

 

If this had happened this time last year, it would have all been

 

WRECKLESS BRITNEY ALLOWS SON TO EAT!

 

Carcrash popstar Britney Spears actually allowed her son to eat last night, causing an allergic reation. How dare she allow him nourishment, when allergic reactions to shellfish so frequently occur? She should be shot. Bad Mother. Thanks for buying our magazine! Kthxbai.
