The Bringing Up Bates dad is rushed to the hospital.

In their latest YouTube video, Trace and Lydia revealed what happened.

In the video, Trace walked out of his parents’ home and into the driveway. He explained, “My dad was just shooting bows and arrows and somehow shot one through his hand. He is on the way to the doctor two days before the wedding. It is not good.” 

He then panned over to Gil Bates, who was sitting in the passenger seat of the car with his hand wrapped in a towel. It looks like the arrow was still in his hand at this point. 

When Gil tried to show his injury, Trace censored it with a black box. So, it must have been pretty bad.

Finally, Trace shared more details once Gil got home from the hospital, and he revealed that his dad did have surgery. Below, you can see a photo of Gil back at home with his hand wrapped up.
