“He’s Home!” — Liz Johnston Shares First Happy Photos of Baby Coleman After Hospital Scare, Then Turns Off Comments

7 Little Johnstons fans can finally exhale — baby Coleman is home. Liz Johnston shared a fresh batch of photos of her newborn son this week, confirming he is out of the hospital after the health scare that rattled the family earlier this month. But the sweet update came with a twist that has the fandom talking: Liz turned off the comments on the post.

So what exactly did Liz reveal — and what is she avoiding? Let’s break it down.

What Liz Revealed in Her New Update

According to reports, Liz took to Instagram with new photos of baby Coleman, who is now 1 month and 5 days old. The images show a bright, smiling baby — a world away from the black-and-white hospital photo she posted on her IG Story two weeks ago, which showed his tiny arm hooked up to an IV with monitor stickers on his chest.

Coleman, the second child of Liz and her husband Brice Bolden, was born on September 8, 2026. He joined big sister Leighton, and the couple had said their family felt complete. But at about four weeks old, Coleman was hospitalized — a development Liz announced with the caption that this was “definitely not” how they wanted to spend his milestone weeks.

Liz has still not disclosed exactly what sent Coleman to the hospital, though many fans believe it may be related to his dwarfism. Several family members have confirmed that Coleman is a new generation of “LP” in the family.

Why Liz Turned Off Comments — The Backlash She Is Dodging

By disabling comments, Liz made it impossible for fans to ask the questions on everyone’s mind. And according to reports, that move may be deliberate: Liz previously faced intense backlash for her point of view on her son’s disability.

Liz has openly expressed wanting a baby who shares her condition — she does not view her dwarfism as a disability. That stance ignited fierce criticism online when Coleman was first hospitalized, with some fans arguing that wishing for a child with a lifelong medical condition was irresponsible. Expecting that storm to return, Liz appears to have shut the door on the conversation before it started.

Fans Are Split: Relief vs. Hard Questions

Across fan communities, reactions to Coleman’s homecoming are split down the middle. On one side, supporters are simply relieved — they sent prayers when Coleman was in the hospital and are celebrating his recovery now. “So happy he is home and smiling,” is the sentiment filling fan groups.

On the other side, critics are not letting go of their questions. When the hospitalization was first announced, the comments sections filled with pointed reactions — some fans questioned whether Liz should have shared the hospital photo at all, while others revived the debate over her comments about wanting an LP baby. Now, with comments disabled, that debate has simply moved to fan-run groups and forums, where it is louder than ever.

What We Still Don’t Know

Despite the happy photos, big questions remain unanswered. What exactly happened to Coleman in the hospital? How long was he admitted? And will Liz ever address the controversy around her comments? For now, the Johnston family is staying quiet — and with comments disabled, fans may have to wait a long time for answers.

One thing is certain: the internet never forgets a turned-off comment section. The harder Liz avoids the conversation, the more curious the fandom becomes.

What do you think — does Liz owe fans an explanation, or is her baby’s health her family’s private business? Sound off in the comments below.
