In June 2019, one month before his due date, Adler was born andplaced in the neonatal intensive care unitdue to fluid build-up in his lungs for 21 days.
“Adler is bottle-fed because of the issue that he had, something called chylothorax. It’s a leak in the lymphatic system,” Fishel told PEOPLE in September of that year. “Unfortunately, my breast milk was creating fluid in his lungs, and we had to take him off of breast milk and put him on a specially formulated formula that doesn’t use the lymphatic system.”

“That was obviously devastating for us. It was traumatizing,” recalled the mom at the time. “We were not expecting that. The last thing wehad heard was that it looks good, the fluid’s going down. We expected to have this ultrasound done and be told there was no more fluid in his lungs.”
“We were trying to be as positive as possible, and letting each other know that we’re okay,” Fishel shared of their firstborn’s health scare. “We were obviously both still thinking of the other one, and saying, ‘Oh God, I hope he’s okay,’ and ‘She’s worried about me.’ "
“In the long run, when we ended up at Children’s Hospital and we saw the other things that children and parents are facing, we put it in perspective andwe were just so happy to have Adler with us,” Karp added. “For every first-time parent, it’s an adjustment to know it wasn’t ideal, but he’s healthy and he’s going to make it. We have the best doctors around us, etc. Those are the things you kind of ease into.”
