McFly star Harry Judd faced a scary situation recently after his three-year-old son Lockie was rushed to hospital.
Harry’s wife, Izzy, took to Instagram at the end of October to share the news and raise awareness for other parents.
The couple share three children, Lockie being the youngest. Attaching a black-and-white image of her son sleeping, she detailed the “traumatic” situation in a lengthy caption.
Harry Judd rushes son Lockie to A&E
“It’s been a traumatic few days… the reason I’m sharing this is because I don’t want another family to experience this and although we all get told the risks of cleaning products at home, reminders are always important,” Izzy wrote.
“So Lockie managed to get hold of a washing pod which he then burst open and managed to get into his eyes very badly. In that split second I wasn’t there, I also forgot to put the washing pods away.”
This has been my scariest moment as a mum.
After rushing him to hospital, Izzy explained that his pH levels in his eyes were at eight, when they needed to be seven. To get him down to the level he needed to be, the hospital had to flush Lockie’s eye with “22 litres of fluid”.
She continued: “We couldn’t be more grateful to the @nhsengland A&E nurses who showed unbelievable dedication and kindness, not only to Lockie but also to me. As you can imagine it was pretty horrendous having to watch and put Lockie through that, he doesn’t like getting his hair washed let alone having to lie there for 10 minutes for each litre of fluid.”
Izzy explained that she and Harry – who is on Love Your Weekend this Sunday (December 8) – were “being closely monitored as his right eye is injured from the chemicals”. She also expressed how “grateful” they are to the specialists.
“So please, please put cleaning products high up and completely out of reach – this has been my scariest moment as a mum, I’m so sorry for others who have experienced these kind of awful accidents too.”
