LOUISE Thompson has provided her fans with an update after her son was taken to hospital with bleeding tonsils.
The reality star, 35, who has faced several health challenges including ulcerative colitis, lupus, and PTSD, revealed today how her four-year-old was rushed to hospital.
She took to social media to share a snap of him hooked up to a series of machines while lying on a hospital bed before she gave fans an update.
In the first update shared hours after the initial post about her son leo, Louise penned: “Thank you for your kind messages.
“He is doing really really well and as always has been looked after incredibly well by the angels of our universe (I feel a suitable LinkedIn job description for nurses and doctors).
“I think I have the most supportive mum following on here ever. You guys are so brilliant – so practical, resourceful and everyone has dealt with some kind of drama at some point over their life so between 1.5million of you I think we have nearly everything covered.”
She added in the next post: “I did night shift, dad will switch in and do day shift as my breath and hair is horrendous. TMI. Now time for some of my own medication.”
Earlier today, Louise told her followers how she had rushed the youngster to hospital after his struggle with “bleeding tonsils”.
Alongside the snap showing him in the ward, she wrote: “Nothing like a wild start to the year.
“Hopefully just a temporary blip.
“Anyone else’s child had bleeding tonsils before?”
Bleeding tonsils can be a sign of infection, potentially after tonsillitis, or following surgery.
This comes after Louise had a hospital dash of her own on Christmas Eve.
She had to previously undergo the removal of her entire large intestine (colon) due to her inflammatory bowel condition, which resulted in her getting her life-saving stoma bag.
But on Christmas Eve, Louise revealed she had spent a large chunk of time in hospital having a procedure.
Louise underwent a proctoscopy, which, according to the NHS, is an examination where an endoscopist looks directly at the anal canal with a small rigid proctoscope.
Taking to her Instagram page to reveal her hospital visit and explain what she had done.
“Looks dramatic but it wasn’t. I had a proctoscopy today. It’s like a colonoscopy but not as invasive because I don’t have a colon so there isn’t very far the camera can go,” she penned over the first slide.
“Still bloody awkward and a tiny bit uncomfortable but fentanyl is a wonder drug,” she penned.
