Stranded in Aspen. I’m tempted to pull a ‘first world problems’, but kidney failure is serious, so I won’t.

The ‘Aspen Vacation Scare’ for Mariah Carey and her husband Nick Cannon is hitting the trends after Mariah tweeted the photo of her and the hubs in the hospital.

Despite the diagnosis, she seems to be quite upbeat, posting this on her website:

“We’re trying to be as festive as possible under the circumstances but please keep Nick in your thoughts because this is very painful.”

Strength through the pain, eh?

Again, there are certainly a lot worse places to be stranded and at least they’re in their home country.
