Maksim Chmerkovskiy reveals he had to take newborn son to emergency room
"Dancing With the Stars" professional dancer Maksim Chmerkovskiy is opening up about a health scare he had with his son, Shai, following his birth two months ago.
"He was a couple weeks old and ... we enjoyed that whole week. It was amazing, and then he got a fever and we had to go ... to the emergency room," the father told ABC News of his son with fellow dancer, Peta Murgatroyd.
"We were so like not prepared for the protocol [and] procedure that happened at the emergency rooms with infants that small," Chmerkovskiy, 37, continued. "Nobody really ever told us anything about that. It was a big shock to the mind and to the heart."

"You start to see a little IV on a little baby and you're like, 'Oh my God, this is crazy,'" he said. "And then we had to travel and fly back to LA after this just happened. It was a lot for us."
Chmerkovskiy and Murgatroyd, who announced their engagement in December 2015, welcomed baby Shai on Jan. 4. The two announced the news of his birth on Twitter.
A week after Shai was born, Chmerkovskiy took to Instagram to reflect how fatherhood had changed him.
"It's been one week plus one day of my fatherhood and I'm the happiest person that's ever lived," he wrote in January. "I'm also feeling very protective and now understand what every parent in history have been going through for as long as humans have been giving birth."
The dancer, who has partnered with "Glee" star Heather Morris on this season of "Dancing With the Stars," which returns Monday, said the ordeal ended well but nevertheless changed him and Murgatroyd.
"It made us be that more diligent," Chmerkovskiy said. "I'm such an overprotective, over-thinking, over-planning type of person. [But] you can't foresee some things; you can try your best."
