Lucy said: “Thank you for all the lovely messages, this is day 3 at home and we are just enjoying lots of special family time with our perfect boy.”
It comes just hours after Lucy explained what had happened to Roman alongside a photo of him in hospital.
The picture showed the tot’s arm and his stuffed toy as hospital wires were attached to him.
Lucy said: “As some of you may have noticed we haven’t been on social media lately.
“Just over a week ago I found Roman blue in his cot – probably every parent’s worst nightmare.
“Without going into too much detail it ended up with Roman being transferred to St Mary’s London intensive care being put on a ventilator.

Meanwhile, Ryan also opened up about the terrifying incident on his Instagram page.
He posted a photo of himself cuddling Roman in hospital.

“As parents it’s been one of the scariest times of our lives but with thanks to our amazing doctors & nurses we have king Roman back playing, smiling & more importantly eating.
