Kristin Cavallari came forward to share an update on her health after a dangerous car accident on Jan. 21 landed her in the hospital.
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, the former reality star, 29, was "hit by another car" while traveling in Chicago, sources exclusively shared.
"Dislocated my elbow last Thursday and not being able to hold my baby is absolutely killing me," Cavallari confirmed the news on Sunday, her first message since the accident.

The past month has been difficult for Cavallari in general, however.
In December, her older brother, Michael, was discovered dead after abandoning his car off of a Utah highway in late November.
Michael's struggles with substance abuse and mental health issues may have led him down a troubled path, as he was arrested shortly before disappearing.
Will tough times ever end for Kristin? At least the new mother is safe and sound for now!
