There can be nothing worse than seeing your little one ill – and no one knows that better than parents Ronan and Storm Keating.
The couple opened up about spending three days in hospital with their 18-month-old son Cooper this week, calling it a “very long 72 hours.”
The fashion designer – who married singer Ronan in 2015 – shared a series of pictures as they held vigil by their baby’s bedside.
She captioned the images: “After a very long 72 hours… we’re finally taking our little button home.”
The 37-year-old thanked hospital staff, adding: “Thank you Dr Massoud and all the wonderful team #theportlandhospital for taking such amazing care of our boy ♥️😢.”
She also included the hashtags: “#sorelieved #emotionallyexhausted #thattimeoftheyear #kidsandviruses #nasty #poorbaby #sickbaby #muchbetternow #thetrialsandtribulationsofparenthood #wishicouldhavetakenitforhim.”
Thankfully Cooper is now back on his feet after the “nasty virus” and the family have been allowed to return home.

Ronan was previously married to childhood sweetheart Yvonne Connolly in 1998. They share three children, Jack, 20, Marie, 17, and Ali, 13.
The couple separated after Ronan had an affair with a dancer, and he and Storm – who he had previously met on The X Factor Australia in 2010 – started dating in 2012.
