Jamie Lynn Spears’s Daughter, Maddie, Leaves the Hospital
Maddie Spears is back at home!
Jamie Lynn Spears announced Friday that her 8-year-old daughter is leaving Children’s Hospital of New Orleans, following an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) accident on the family property in Kentwood, La., last Sunday. Maddie was steering the ATV to avoid a drainage ditch when she lost control and landed in a pond, where she became submerged in the water, according to local officials. Jamie Lynn and Maddie’s stepfather, Jamie Watson, were watching nearby, but they were unable to pull Maddie out of her seatbelt and safety netting and had to wait for emergency workers to arrive. On Tuesday, it was announced that Maddie was awake and talking.
