Vicki Gunvalson’s grandchild ‘suffered a terrible accident on Mother’s Day and was hospitalized’
Briana Culberson, the daughter of Vicki Gunvalson, and her husband Ryan revealed that one of their four children “had a terrible accident on Mother’s Day.”
On Tuesday night, the registered practice nurse, 36, and wife, who retired from the Marine Corps for medical reasons in 2017, shared that their child, who was hospitalized over the weekend with serious injuries, was “doing well and is now going to house’ .’
“I must direct all my love and attention to their healing. I’ll pop in here and there, but will be lagging behind with my posts,” Briana, who runs the Instagram account The Culbersons, wrote to her more than 276,000 Instagram followers.
The couple, who share Troy, 11, Owen, eight, Hank, three, and year-old Cora, have not released any additional information about the incident.
In the comments section of a video of Hank uploaded Wednesday, when asked how Hank was doing after his fall, Ryan replied that he was “concussed but doing great.”

Scary weekend: On Tuesday night, the registered practice nurse, 36, and husband, who retired from the Marine Corps for medical reasons in 2017, shared that their child, who was hospitalized over the weekend with serious injuries, was “doing well” ‘and now home’
Gunvalson has not publicly commented on her grandson’s injuries, but did share a card of four of her grandchildren, whom she says she missed “terribly.”
In March, the family moved from their home of several years in Illinois to Oklahoma to raise their little ones in a “slower-paced rural environment.”
In April, when she was praised for being “present and grateful” with her brood in the comments section of one of her Instagram posts, Briana said she and Ryan “have been through a lot, together and individually.”
“Many things have happened that have made us evaluate what is important to us and how we want to raise our children. It hasn’t always been pretty, but we’ve reached such a place of peace with our marriage and we’ve changed our whole lives for our kids,” she explained of her priorities.
Speaking of how they enjoyed their new home, nestled between farms with horses and a treehouse in their backyard, the mother-of-three said the new environment was “so peaceful” and they all “loved it.”
Last year, Briana and Ryan welcomed their baby girl named Cora Rose, whom they called a “beautiful, healthy blessing.”
She maintains a largely private life away from social media aside from her keto-inspired page where she gives followers updates on her daily food choices on the largely low-carb lifestyle.
Briana rose to fame at a young age as the daughter of the real life OG of the OC, Vicki Gunvalson, who starred in the Real Housewives of Orange County from its inception in 2006 until 2019 when she left the show for good.

Fresh start: In March, the family moved from their home of several years in Illinois to Oklahoma to raise their little ones in a “slower rural environment”
She celebrated her 12th wedding anniversary with Ryan in October.
Before living in Oklahoma and Illinois, they lived in North Carolina for many years.
Earlier this month, she opened up that she knew she “wanted to be a nurse” since she was “old enough to remember.”
“My mother had health problems and many surgeries when I was a child. I always felt comfortable in the hospitals and taking care of her at home. That was easy, I knew I wanted to help people and that’s the purpose of my life. I started working in the emergency room at 18 and graduated with my bachelors of science in nursing right after I turned 22. I spent 17 years in the ER and loved it, in fact I miss it daily,” she wrote on her Instagram account.

In 2017, Briana had to “fight for her life” after surgeons made a mistake and operated on her with a dirty scalpel while they were performing surgery to treat her lupus.
“It almost killed my daughter,” Vicki told People at the time. ‘[The scalpel was infected] with faeces from an earlier operation that day that they put in her body.’
The reality star emphasized: “So, not good, she almost lost her leg. She almost died and all that stuff.’
In 2018, she was hospitalized again and tried the keto diet with her husband to see if it would help her illness.
And after a year of dieting, she lost 45 pounds.
