Aaron Chalmers’ ex Talia Oatway reveals ‘horrific’ hospital dash with son as he’s left vomiting blood and ‘green liquid’

AARON Chalmers’ ex Talia Oatway has revealed she’s had to rush her son Oakley to hospital after he was left vomiting blood and “green liquid”.

The four-year-old was born with Apert syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that causes the bones in the skull, hands and feet to fuse together.

As a result, he lives with complex medical needs and is regularly in and out of hospital.

Worried mum Talia, 34, took to TikTok from the hospital to share news of the scary incident with her followers.

She began: “What a bloody day we’ve had. So two o’clock this morning, Oakley’s been vomiting since.

“Basically the back story is, Oakley had some PH testing done in hospital where they put a little device, attach it to the esophagus and you have to follow him around for two days with his bag.

Geordie Shore ex Talia Oatway reveals son Oakley is having TWENTIETH surgery

“You can’t be more than two metres away from him.”

She went on to reveal that the device should have come out through him when the procedure happened three weeks ago.

“In the morning, he was covered in green sick and I found this little device in his bed,” Talia explained.

“So I phoned the hospital and they told me I need to bring him down, so I brought him down, he’s been vomiting ever since we got here.

“Oakley’s got a feeding tube in the belly, they attach a bag to the tube so instead of him vomiting orally, it’ll come out through the bag and through his belly and it was just pure green and blood. It was horrific.”

Talia said that Oakley was taken for an x-ray because the device could have damaged a part of his bowels.

However, he was required to have another x-ray to investigate further before they consider taking the surgery route.

Talia held her hand over her face and expressed: “I just don’t know what’s going on, it’s just horrific.

“I just feel like it’s one thing after another for this baby and I feel so sorry for him. It’s just awful.”

It comes after his previous hospital dash last month which resulted in him having to have the device put inside him initially.

In March, Talia revealed Oakley had undergone more than 20 operations related to his condition.

Speaking previously, the brave mum said: “Every hospital admission. Every surgery. It never gets easier. The fear, the waiting, the helplessness – it never goes away.

“But you keep going because your child needs you to be strong when they can’t be.”

Talia is also mum to three other children – Oakley’s siblings.

She shares Oakley, Romeo, six, and Maddox, four, with former Geordie Shore star Aaron. She also has an older daughter from a previous relationship.

Talia has previously claimed Aaron has limited contact with Oakley and has said she considers herself a single mum.

She said: “Oakley’s here every single night, he has been for over a year and the fact that this person can just go online and start talking about his medical care when he doesn’t attend any appointments, doesn’t attend hospital, is mind-blowing.”

Chris Johnson revives 2014 viral ALS Ice Bucket Challenge

Former NFL running back Chris Johnson has issued a challenge to his family, friends and fans — one that could quite literally send a chill down the spine of those who remember a certain viral trend from more than a decade ago.

A quick refresher: A social media sensation went viral in 2014, involving people posting videos of themselves having a bucket of ice water poured over their heads and challenging others, by name, to do the same.

The trend was often referred to as the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge because many folks used the videos to raise awareness for and funding to help fight the degenerative neurological disorder amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, commonly known as ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease.

Johnson, a three-time Pro Bowl selection who holds the NFL record for most yards from scrimmage in a single season, on Tuesday revealed on “Good Morning America” that he has been diagnosed with ALS. Soon after, former Utah basketball player and sports content creator Hunter Mecum posted a video on Instagram in which he dumped a large bowl of ice water on himself in Johnson’s honor.

That video inspired Johnson to bring the movement back.

“Man… the love y’all have shown me these last few days really [means] more than you know. Me and my family appreciate every prayer, message and every bit of support,” Johnson wrote on Wednesday on Instagram.

“After seeing @huntermecum video, I’m asking y’all to help me with something. Let’s bring back the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. Grab a bucket, challenge 3 people and if you can, donate to help fund ALS research.”

Johnson included a link in his bio to a fundraiser for ALS research set up in his honor. As of Thursday morning, it had raised more than $32,000.

The retired player known as CJ2K also called on three people to accept the ice bucket challenge — ex-Tennessee Titans teammate LenDale White and fellow former NFL greats Marshawn Lynch and Adam “Pacman” Jones.

So far, White and Lynch have accepted Johnson’s challenge. Lynch, the former star running back for the Seattle Seahawks and Oakland Raiders, obliged by getting hailed on by a bucket of ice.

White, who was Johnson’s “Smash and Dash” counterpart in the Titans backfield, took the traditional ice water route and nominated former NFL players Deion Sanders, Vince Young and Michael Sims-Walker, who was on hand at the time and accepted the challenge in a separate video.

Johnson also posted a video of his daughter Honey Love taking the challenge, with White handling the ice-bucket duty. She nominated her brothers and former Lakers superstar LeBron James.

James hasn’t yet responded, but he was one of the many celebrities who took part in the original challenge 12 years ago. Others included Kobe Bryant (who submerged himself in an ice tub), Shaquille O’Neal (who humorously poured one drop of water on his head) and Donald Trump (who joked he was nominated because “they want to see whether or not it’s my real hair, which it is”).

Kat Rader put Houston on the board in the 17th minute. Angel City (4-5-1) tied it nine minutes later on Maiara Carolina Niehues’ penalty kick.
