Instagram/aspynovard The YouTube creator concluded the emotional carousel with a present-day photo of herself and Cove. “Always hurting ❤️‍🩹,” she wrote. “Always wondering how much time is left.” Ovard, 30, first shared her daughter’s devastating diagnosis in Episode 1 of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County,” which dropped on Hulu Thursday. Ovard also shared photos from Cove’s “triggering” hospital visits and medical procedures, which she has been enduring for several years. Instagram/aspynovard The YouTube star, who chooses not to show her children’s faces online, divulged her daughter’s diagnosis in the “Mormon Wives: OC” premiere, which dropped on Hulu Thursday. Instagram/aspynovard “Everything happened just so out of nowhere,” she said in the premiere. “One day she was OK and the next day she wasn’t.” “At the hospital, we were like, ‘It has to be fine.’ You can’t fathom they’re actually gonna tell you that your baby has cancer, and that it’s terminal and she could be gone in a month.” Ovard later revealed that doctors have referred to Cove as a “walking miracle,” as it’s unusual for a child with her type of cancer to survive for as long as she has. “Always wondering how much time is left,” Ovard captioned one of the photos with her ill daughter. Instagram/aspynovard Ovard said her daughter received the devastating diagnosis almost four years ago. (Pictured: a present-day snapshot of Ovard and Cove.)

The filing came on the same day she announced the birth of their third daughter. While their current relationship appears mostly amicable, Ovard and Ferris were seen getting into a heated argument over their daughter’s diagnosis in the final moments of the “SLOMW: OC” premiere. While doctors called Cove a “walking miracle,” Ovard — who snapped this photo during one of her daughter’s hospital stays — said they are still living “scan to scan.” Instagram/aspynovard In the first episode, Ovard accuses Ferris of “nitpicking” her parenting style to distract himself from what they are going through with their daughter.
