“The last three days have hurt,” she wrote. “I felt completely delirious, helpless and sick watching Loretta so ill.”
“I’m still in shock at how quickly children can fall ill and equally how quickly they bounce back,” she continued.
“What started as a virus resulting in a cough on Sunday, soon escalated into Loretta not being able to breathe without an oxygen mask or nebuliser by Monday.”
Lydia continued to speak about her hospital visit with Loretta, describing the whole experience as “traumatic”.
“Seeing so many sick children around me was equally as traumatic and the realisation of daily life for so many parents with sick children breaks my heart,” she continued.
“In my exhausted, panicked state I don’t think I said thank you enough to all the people involved in Loretta’s care at Whipps Cross Hospital,” she wrote.
She then went on to say that the cuts to the NHS are “so obvious to see”. However, despite this, she said that the staff at the hospital made her feel as though Loretta was their only patient.
Lydia then went on to praise the “compassionate” and “attentive” staff, before thanking the NHS as a whole.
“THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart,” she said.
Plenty of Lydia’s 1.2 million followers headed to the comment section to send the 31-year-old their love and support.
“Sending you both lots of love darling,” Billie Faiers said.
“You’re the best mummy ever,” Lydia’s sister, Romana, wrote.
