Jimmie Allen may have gotten his very first Grammy nomination (Best New Artist) yesterday (11/23), but still, it was a rough night for him and his wife as their new baby girl Zara was sick. Unfortunately, when they brought her to a Nashville hospital, they were sent home.

Jimmie posted to Twitter last night, "Now thanks to the lazy doctors at a hospital in TN that just sent our daughter home, our daughter Zara lost color stopped breathing and is being rushed to another hospital. Thanks to the amazing EMT team that brought back Zara’s color she can breathe again. Gonna be a rough night."

Over 300 fans commented on the post with most fans sending their prayers. One fan wrote, "I work at the hospital in Salisbury Md, and they would never turn you away with baby Zaras medical situation. I will pray very hard."
