Here Comes Honey Boo Boo patriarch Mike “Sugar Bear” Thompson suffered a boo boo of his own a few weeks ago when he had an accident while riding an ATV. As we reported last week, Sugar Bear was hospitalized for a leg injury and then released, but later got an infection and had to return for an extended treatment of antibiotics.
Sugar Bear eventually had to have surgery to remove some of the infection and is scheduled to be released this week. Meanwhile, he’s going stir crazy in his room as he redneckuperates. But, as I’m sure you can imagine, Sugar Bear has not had to suffer too much alone because the ladies in his life are paying frequent visits to keep him company. The photo above was shared on Alana Thompson’s Facebook page over the weekend along with the caption, “me and sugarbear hanging out at the hospital watching sponge bob.”
And speaking of Alana Thompson’s Facebook page, they have been doing a wonderful job of keeping everyone updated on Sugar Bear’s condition, information we have been passing on to our readers. (You can catch up with previous updates here!)
And here is the latest straight from Mama June Shannon and her friend, who run the page:
