Mariah Carey: Nick Cannon “In Good Spirits”

Despite being hospitalized for mild kidney failure, Nick Cannon is still “in good spirits,” according to his wife Mariah Carey.

“As always, he’s in good spirits considering the situation,” Carey tells People magazine. "We are hopeful that he'll be 100 percent as soon as possible. We really appreciate everybody's love and support."

Cannon also tweeted his thanks. “Thank you all for all your love, prayers and concern. You know me ... I will be a'ight,” he wrote Wednesday.

Carey revealed Cannon’s condition Wednesday in a statement on her website. She wrote: “This is us in the hospital - role reversal; Last year it was me attached to the machines (after having dembabies) and Nick was there with me through it, and now here we are.

We're trying to be as festive as possible under the circumstances but please keep Nick in your thoughts because this is very painful. They tried to kick me out of the hospital but here I am pon de bed with Mr. C.

We're doing OK but we're "straaaaaanded in Aspen". #DramaticDivaPlace (I know, we could be in a lot worse places) but the truth is as long as we're together, we're OK. I'm not trying to make light out of the situation because it's a serious moment that's very tough on all of us so please keep us and our family in your prayers. LYM.”

Carey and Cannon were married in April 2008 and welcomed twins Moroccan and Monroe last April.
