Dorit Kemsley detailed her 10-year-old son’s “difficult” battle with “septic hip” that resulted in the child being hospitalized for weeks.
The “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star shared the update with fans in a lengthy message shared to her Instagram on Friday. The post featured pics of herself and Jagger, as well as her estranged husband, Paul “PK” Kemsley, and their daughter Phoenix, 8, dressed as “The Flintstones” for Halloween.

“The past month has been very difficult for our family,” Dorit captioned the post on Nov. 1.
The mom of two shared that Jagger underwent two surgeries in under a week for a septic hip and had to remain in the hospital for nearly two weeks — only to encounter another setback when they thought the worst was behind them.
The ailment, also known as septic arthritis, is a painful infection in a joint that can come from germs that travel through one’s bloodstream from another part of the body, according to the Mayo Clinic.
“Luckily, this incredibly brave, courageous little boy is a fighter (like Rocky, as he would say ) and we were able to enjoy Halloween like he desperately wanted to,” she wrote.
The Bravolebrity shared that Jagger had two surgeries and spent two weeks in the hospital for “septic hip.”
Her estranged husband, Paul “PK” Kemsley,” said Jagger had been struggling with health issues earlier this month.
He posted a photo of the child yawning at the time.
She added, “That made this Halloween extra special for all of us. .”
The Bravolebrity praised the health workers at the hospital for “all the love and support” and shared how “grateful” she was for the doctors and nurses involved in her son’s recovery.
“I’m in awe and so proud of our little munchkin, his strength, positive mindset and can do attitude he’s maintained through everything he’s been through,” she said. “Feeling blessed and hopeful that better days lay ahead. Yabadaba dooo from the Flintstones!
Dorit, seen here with PK, Jagger, and their daughter Phoenix, praised her son for being brave.
The former couple separated in May.
Earlier this month, Dorit and PK, 57, revealed that Jagger had been receiving medical attention after he was feeling “unwell” for a while.
“Mommy and Daddy have been with him in the wondeful [sic] @cedarssinai we wanted to publicly thank them and the Drs and Nurses … we are still here but he’s on the mend … he’s our Rocky … image was caught of him yawning … but I love the shot,” PK wrote via Instagram on Oct. 15.
The news of Jagger’s health issues comes five months after Dorit and PK revealed that they were separating after nine years of marriage.
