Whitney Rose is sharing an update after her daughter was rushed to the hospital last month.
While addressing PEOPLE exclusively, The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star, 38, said her 14-year-old daughter Bobbie is a “fighter” and doing “much better” after being rushed to intensive care by ambulance while suffering from a “severe asthma exacerbation”.
“That health scare with Bobbie was one of the scariest, hardest things I’ve ever been through as a mom with my kids,” the reality star — who shares two children, Bobbie and 11-year-old son Brooks, with husband Justin Rose — tells PEOPLE.
“It was really scary watching her fight for her life,” continued Whitney, who first opened up about her health scare on her Instagram stories on Oct. 6. “But she’s a fighter and she’s strong and healthy. She’s recovering and doing well so it’s much better.

Whitney says the family “had to change some things in our lives to make sure her asthma never flares up again,” but reassures fans that her daughter is doing better.
“She’s a freshman. She’s the best,” says the TV personality. “Boys are starting to show up. They’re stealing all my makeup, all my new clothes. Yeah, I feel like I’m just a better version of myself, and watching her grow up is one of the best things I’ve ever done.”
Whitney adds of her son, “Brooks is 11. He’s in sixth grade, so it’s my last year of elementary… [but] they are progressing. Both are killing each other in football, they are slowly getting better and better in football.”
The Bravo star’s comments come after she revealed on her Instagram Stories on October 10 that Bobbie had been released from intensive care and was “recovering at home” following a health scare.
