Frankie Bridge reveals rushing son Parker to A&E after ‘gasping for air’

The youngster suffered from a croup attack

Frankie Bridge has opened up on the “horrendous” moment her son Parker was rushed to hospital, after struggling to breathe.

The Loose Women star, 32, explained the seven-year-old was suffering from his second croup attack in months.

Croup refers to an infection of the upper airway, which obstructs breathing and leads to a barking cough.

What did Frankie Bridge say about her son?

Frankie revealed her two sons had been suffering from colds, but feared Parker would develop croup.

She later took Parker to hospital in the early hours.

Speaking on Instagram, the singer shared: “‘We knew it was going to come, and it did.

It’s just horrendous and there’s nothing you can do

“So we ended up rushing him to A&E when he still couldn’t breathe after a while.”

Thankfully, Parker was admitted out of hospital as Frankie and husband Wayne were “croup pros.”

In addition, she said: “It’s just so scary for him and is and trying to keep him calm.

“It’s just mad how you can have one kid who has a cold and just has a cold and then you have another kid, the minute he has anything, it goes straight to his chest and has asthma.”

Furthermore, the star explained: “No one else in my family has asthma. It’s just not something you ever get used to I think, seeing someone that you love gasping for air.

“It’s just horrendous and there’s nothing you can do.”
