AceShowbiz - Thanksgiving is a time for family, gratitude, and often a bit of chaos. For "Modern Family" stars Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Julie Bowen, this year's holiday included an unexpected visit to the emergency room. Ferguson and Bowen, who played siblings Mitchell Pritchett and Claire Dunphy respectively on the beloved sitcom, ended up at the hospital with their children on Thanksgiving.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson shared a heartfelt Instagram post on November. 28, revealing that one of his sons, whom he shares with husband Justin Mikita, needed medical attention in the ER. He also thanked former co-star Bowen, who found herself in a similar situation, for her support.

Posting a photo of his son sleeping on him in a hospital bed, Ferguson said, "I have received a lot of parenting wisdom from @itsjuliebowen so seeing I wasn't the only one with a kid in the ER on Thanksgiving was comforting." He assured everyone that his son was fine and expressed gratitude to the staff at Lennox Health. "NYC really DOES have the best healthcare," he added.

Julie Bowen, who has three sons, Oliver (17) and 15-year-old twins John and Gustav, with ex-husband Scott Phillips, shared her experience on her own page. She posted a snapshot of one of her sons standing in front of the emergency room, captioning it, "It's not a holiday without a trip to the ER. (He's fine, btw) HAPPY THANKSGIVING."

Support poured in for the two stars, with mutual friends and fans expressing relief that their kids were okay. Jesse's onscreen stepmother, Sofia Vergara, commented with three red hearts, "Oh no!!!!" on his post. The posts also stirred up a compassionate conversation about the unpredictable nature of parenting and the pivotal role of community support.

Despite the ER detours, the holiday wasn't entirely lost. On Black Friday, Ferguson posted a charming photo of his son dressed in a suit, gazing out of a window at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. "Thankful for friends who are helping us build memories for our kids," he wrote, highlighting the silver linings found even in unexpected circumstances.

This Thanksgiving, the "Modern Family" cast showcased the resilience and gratitude that often accompany parenthood, turning a hectic holiday into moments of reflection and appreciation.
