At 2.45 am, Mariah Carey posted a message on her website asking for her fans to say a prayer for her hubby. Mariah wrote under the photo, “This is us in the hospital - role reversal; Last year it was me attached to the machines (after having dembabies) and Nick was there with me through it, and now here we are.

We're trying to be as festive as possible under the circumstances but please keep Nick in your thoughts because this is very painful. They tried to kick me out of the hospital but here I am pon de bed with Mr. C.

We're doing OK but we're "straaaaaanded in Aspen". #DramaticDivaPlace (I know, we could be in a lot worse places) but the truth is as long as we're together, we're OK. I'm not trying to make light out of the situation because it's a serious moment that's very tough on all of us so please keep us and our family in your prayers. LYM.”

She also tweeted this message:

The couple had spent New Year’s Eve in Aspen.

TheInsider.com has the latest update on Nick’s condition. A source close to the couple told them, that Nick suffered from dehydration, not “mild kidney failure.” According to the source, Nick should be released from the hospital shortly and sent home with a clean bill of health. And probably a warning or two on about how important it is to make sure you drink plenty of water after doing sports and other strenuous activitites,
