Autumn Crittendon and her family reportedly spent Easter weekend in the hospital after her son, Drake, experienced breathing issues.

After her five-month-old woke up choking in the middle of the night, the 16 & Pregnant star rushed to the emergency room in hopes at getting help for her ailing son.

According to a Starcasm report, Crittendon's son fell ill on Saturday night and was taken to the hospital where an X-Ray was taken of his chest. After testing, Crittendon and her family, including her son's father, Dustin, were sent home, but returned the next morning after discovering that her son was still having trouble breathing.

Unfortunately, things didn't go well for Crittendon during her second visit to the hospital, which she revealed to fans on Twitter.

“Rude doctors annoy me,” Crittendon vented. “Stop questioning me like I don’t know s**t ya I’m a teen age mom but I take care of my son and ik my son… Your looking at me like I’m dumb but I know more than u obviously. Just send us home if your not gonna do anything.”

In the end, baby Drake eventually returned home, and Crittendon spoke to Starcasm, revealing that he has since been doing much better.

In a statement to the site, Crittendon explained that her son's X-ray "revealed an air bubble on his intestines, which was making him throw up and choke on bile. The bubble naturally popped after a few hours and doctors didn’t have to treat him for anything."
