On Friday morning, a visibly shaken Mika Brzezinski announced on MSNBC's ‘Morning Joe’ that her co-host, Joe Scarborough, was absent due to a family emergency.
She explained that the night before, Joe’s 25-year-old son, Andrew, fell down some stairs and fractured his skull.
Andrew was treated at Bellevue Hospital in New York and, though the outlook at the time was uncertain, he was said to be in stable condition, reports PEOPLE.
Scarborough has since provided the public with an update on his son's health.
Later in the morning, he tweeted, “Andrew doing much better after a frightening day and long night. Our family thanks all for keeping Andrew in your thoughts and prayers. The neurologist asked Andrew questions this morning and ended by asking him his favorite team. He said 'The Red Sox, who've won 8 in a row.'"
