Trista Sutter is now out of the hospital following a major health scare during a family vacation. The former (and first ever!) Bachelorette suffered a seizure on Saturday in front of her children and her husband while in Croatia. Sutter shared the news of her unexpected situation on Instagram after recovering from the shock. At this time it is unclear exactly what led to Trista's seizure, but both her and her husband, Ryan Sutter, are grateful for her swift recovery.
In an emotional Instagram post, the mother of two paired a hospital selfie of herself hooked up to monitors and explained, "This was me yesterday....two hours after I had a seizure. ...two hours after I fell on my daughter's chest & she watched, along with her brother & grandparents, in confusion & horror as her mommy stared blankly off into the distance & started turning blue."

The 44-year-old also wrote that the experience gave her a reminder of her own mortality, and made her reevaluate her life. "I have an expiration date. I've always envisioned that date being sometime after my kids have graduated college, met the loves of their lives and created families of their own, but I was reminded yesterday that it could come anytime, in any country, whether I'm surrounded by strangers or people I love, or neither, or both. I've never been perfect and I never will be, but from here on out, I vow to try my best to live this life to the fullest." Trista also thanked her Bachelor Nation family for their outpouring of support. (Trista and Ryan met on the series over 14 years ago during the network's first season of the female-led Bachelor spin-off.)
According to her other recent posts, Trista and Ryan, along with their daughter, Blakesley, and son, Maxwell, have been able to continue their adventures in Croatia. Sutter appears to be in good health once again.
