Bode Miller’s wife Morgan has revealed that three of their young children were hospitalized with carbon monoxide poisoning that she says was caused by a crane that was parked in their driveway.
The former beach volleyball player – who lives in Big Sky, Montana, with her husband and their five kids – took to Instagram to share a video of three of their children in the ER wearing oxygen masks, while opening up about how the ‘terrifying’ medical scare unfolded.
‘Two weeks ago, we had a crane at our house to remove our broken hot tub,’ Morgan, 36, began her Instagram post, which featured a clip of three-year-old twins Asher and Aksel, and 19-month-old daughter Scarlet in hospital beds while being tended to medical staff.
She went on to reveal that her three children had been standing on the front step of their home to watch the crane – despite her husband Bode stating in a since-deleted Instagram post that they had kept the children inside ‘for obvious safety reasons’.
‘Asher, Aksel and Scarlet innocently stood on the front step of our house to watch the action which resulted in them getting carbon monoxide poisoning due to the lack of airflow in our driveway landing them in the ER,’ Morgan continued.

‘They were on high flow oxygen for over four hours. It was a terrifying experience but thanking my lucky stars they are okay.’
She also shared the video on her Instagram Stories, which she captioned: ‘Mama’s heart needs a break.’
Her update came after 45-year-old Bode’s own Instagram post on Thursday that first revealed the health scare.
Their three-year-old son, Asher, had previously been rushed to the ER after suffering a seizure just months ago.
The 45-year-old Olympic gold medal-winning alpine skier took to Instagram on Thursday to share images of himself and Asher in the hospital, but he deleted the post soon after it was published.
In the since-deleted post, Bode – who shares sons Nash, eight; Easton, four; twin sons Asher and Aksel, three and a half; and daughter Scarlet Olivia, 19 months, with Morgan – first revealed the health scare.
‘We had a crane parked in our driveway for a few hours,’ Bode said. ‘Despite keeping the kids inside for obvious safety reasons, the little ones got really sick from it.
‘Asher ended up in the hospital with carbon monoxide poisoning. All are well now, but passing along as a reminder to all parents of the dangers of carbon monoxide. Reminder to go test your CO detectors,’ Bode concluded.
The ‘terrifying’ emergency is the latest tragedy to hit the Miller family – who revealed back in December that Asher had been rushed to the ER after suffering from a seizure.
Bode first revealed the children’s health scare on Thursday in a since-deleted post

At the time, Asher received treatment at the same hospital where their daughter Emmy was taken when she drowned in a fatal accident at a neighbor’s pool.
Morgan revealed on her Instagram story in December that she rode in the back of the ambulance with her son after he had a seizure that, ‘scared us half to death.’
She shared a photo of Body lying in the hospital bed with Asher, while adding a heartfelt caption.
‘Life is constantly walking a knife edge and it’s not something we are unfamiliar with,’ Morgan began in her Instagram story post.
‘Asher had a febrile seizure which scared us half to death,’ she continued in her post, which had an eerie connection to their late daughter Emmy, who died of accidental drowning four years earlier.
‘We took that same ambulance to the same hospital we took Emmy to but this time we got to leave with our child.’
She also shared another snap with Bode cuddling with his shirtless twins, as Morgan added that Asher is, ‘home and back to his normal self.’
Reminder: ‘Asher ended up in the hospital with carbon monoxide poisoning. All are well now, but passing along as a reminder to all parents of the dangers of carbon monoxide. Reminder to go test your CO detectors,’ Bode concluded
Unclear: It’s unclear why Bode deleted the post, though former skier and his wife had another health scare with Asher back in December, when he suffered a seizure

Emmy: Last month marked the fifth anniversary that the Miller family lost their daughter Emmy, who was just 19 months old when she tragically drowned in a neighbor’s pool
‘I am reminded to slow down and realize life’s little gifts during this crazy holiday season because we already have everything we need… Our loved ones. Our health. And more time,’ she said.
She added a final snap of Bode and Asher, adding, ‘Because time with the ones we love is all we could ever ask for.’
Last month marked the fifth anniversary that the Miller family lost their daughter Emmy, who was just 19 months old when she tragically drowned in a neighbor’s pool.
Bode paid tribute to Emmy last month on Instagram, stating, ‘It’s been 5 years. On the night of her birth our midwife @lindseymeehleis noted that Emmy was ‘here to change the world.’ 5 years after her loss, I can see it. Emmy was fearless, determined and fierce from the moment she was born. We miss you Emmy. 19 months was never going to be long enough to hold you in our arms.’
