Jenni 'JWoww' Farley's Emotional Hospital Journey: What She Revealed

Jersey Shore: Family Vacation star Jenni “JWoww” Farley is opening up about a frightening health scare that led to her being hospitalized.

“Not the ‘first day of school’ picture I wanted to post… but then again, I guess we wouldn’t have one,” Farley, 41, wrote via Instagram on Thursday, September 3, alongside a photo of herself wearing a hospital gown while posing with daughter Meilani, 12, and son Greyson, 10, whom she shares with ex-husband Roger Mathews.

She continued, “This past week has probably been one of the hardest weeks of my life. I’ve spent every day fighting to get healthy enough to get home to my family while dealing with a horrible kidney infection and appendicitis.”
