Cleaning guru Sophie Hinchcliffe has revealed her eldest son Ronnie has been diagnosed with a rare disease.
Last week we reported the influencer, also known as Mrs Hinch, was deeply concerned for the youngster who was rushed to hospital as his temperature soared to over 40C.
The social media star - known to many as Mrs Hinch - gave her fans an emotional update after she was forced to call an ambulance and was then silent across social media for a few days.
Ronnie, three, has now been discharged and Mrs Hinch has opened up on the terrifying experience - which has "shaken" their family -as she's revealed he has been diagnosed with Kawasaki disease.
Mrs Hinch says her son has been through a range of different tests and treatments before receiving his diagnosis and he's now been given the okay to go home.
Sharing a series of adorable snaps of the youngster, she said: "FINALLY 'We can go home now Mummy'
"Ron, you are SO brave, SO strong, SO loved and just beautifully unique darling boy We have spent the past 10 days living whats felt like a real life nightmare."
She added: "But I just wanted to thank you all for so many kind messages and update you all.
"Ron’s temp spiked 40 at home, I phoned an ambulance. Ron was admitted and IV antibiotics started but NOTHING was working, in fact Ronnie deteriorated. The incredible doctors and nurses started every blood test and scan you can imagine.
"We paced rooms and corridors for days just waiting for an answer, a result … anything! Seeing Ron this way kicked me with a fear and desperation I’ve never felt in my whole life.
"What is happening to our son! Please tell me!
"After a couple of days , more symptoms appeared and results returned. Ron was diagnosed with Kawasaki disease, something I had never heard of before.
"Kawasaki disease is a rare, non contagious disease that only affects around eight in every 100,000 children under the age of five in the UK. This disease causes swelling of the blood vessels throughout the body. It can also affect the blood vessels supplying the heart muscle when not treated early enough."
She continued: "The main symptoms to look out for include a persistent high temperature, body rash, swelling and then peeling of the hands and feet, red blistered lips, bloodshot eyes, strawberry tongue, inflamed sore throat and swollen lymph glands. This past week has shaken our whole world as a family. I’ve never felt a fear like it."
The star then thanked medics for their help as she continued: "But I need to say THANKYOU to the incredible team at Broomfield hospital, St Marys and Great Ormond street. Thank you for answering our prayers and making our Ronnie better, His little smile says it all so Thank you"
"Please if anyone reading this is a parent/carer of a child with Kawasaki disease Jamie and I would be so so grateful to hear from you and your story.
"I will do all that I can to help raise awareness of this disease that to this day still has no explained cause
"OUR VERY SPECIAL RONNIE ROO IS COMING HOME and we are back together as a family at last xxx".
