A recent photo she shared shows her youngest son, Easton, tenderly feeding her, underscoring the strong support from her family during this challenging time.

    Mullins is currently at Cardinal Hill Rehabilitation Hospital in Lexington, Kentucky, where she is undergoing therapy and adapting to her new circumstances.
