Nick Cannon Hospitalized For Kidney Failure, Mariah Carey Tweets to Fans

It is being reported this morning that Nick Cannon has been hospitalized for mild kidney failure.

The news was not released by statement or TMZ, but by Mariah Carey herself, who posted on her twitter today, “Please pray for Nick as he’s fighting to recover from a mild kidney failure”

Mariah tweeted a picture (below) of the two in Cannon’s hospital bed, with cannon hooked up to a few machines, and looking less than thrilled.  She also posted a link to a direct message on her blog, which read:

“This is us in the hospital – role reversal; Last year it was me attached to the machines (after having dembabies) and Nick was there with me through it, and now here we are.

We’re trying to be as festive as possible under the circumstances but please keep Nick in your thoughts because this is very painful. They tried to kick me out of the hospital but here I am pon de bed with Mr. C.

We’re doing OK but we’re “straaaaaanded in Aspen”. #DramaticDivaPlace (I know, we could be in a lot worse places) but the truth is as long as we’re together, we’re OK. I’m not trying to make light out of the situation because it’s a serious moment that’s very tough on all of us so please keep us and our family in your prayers. LYM.”

The couple have been spending the holidays in Aspen with their twins, Moroccan and Monroe.
