Mrs Hinch has candidly revealed she rushed her newborn son Vinnie to hospital earlier this week, where he was diagnosed with a condition. The social media star, who has been open about difficulties with her son's reflux in recent weeks, took the tot to A&E earlier this week, where he was diagnosed with reflux, cow's milk protein allergy and Laryngomalacia, which is a floppy larynx (voice box), which can cause noisy breathing.
Cleaning sensation Sophie Hinchliffe, who gave birth to Vinnie in February, shared a string of photos of Vinnie in hospital, including a snap of herself holding her baby son. Other sweet photos see the tot laying in a bed with a wire attached to his foot and a video sees him in good spirits.
Sophie, who was recently in hospital herself with a blood clot, also shared a video of her and Vinnie back at home with his older brothers Ronnie and Lennie looking happy to be reunited with their newborn sibling, Mirror UK reports. In the caption, Sophie shared Vinnie's recent health woes as she told her followers: "Hello Everyone, a little update from us.
"Having stayed in hospital this last week with Vinnie I am SO grateful we are now back home. Vinnies 'reflux' journey is something I’ve never experienced before and my gut couldn’t settle on 'it’s just reflux this will pass'. I ended up taking Vinnie to A&E, and after further examinations yes Vinnie has reflux and CMPA but also Laryngomalacia."
The mum-of-three continued: "This is a common congenital condition, present at birth, where the soft tissues of the voice box collapse inward during feeding. To finally have answers and knowing as parents that we are not going crazy feels more settling yet nerve wracking. I feel relieved that we have been listened to and a care plan is in place for Vinnie, which avoids any potential surgery if all goes to plan.
"We just need to ensure Vinnie gains weight over the next month and go from there. One feed at a time," she continued as she candidly opened up about how she's feeling. "(Don’t get me wrong… I know just how blessed we are as a family, but It really seems to be one thing after another knocking us down this last year, and my nerves feel broken to say the least) But we keep going, we all do, we have to, because things will surely start to look up again soon."
Mrs Hinch then ended her caption with a message to her fans, she wrote: "So Just a gentle reminder today …. Never give up on your instinct. You’re not silly, your gut knows Have a beautiful Easter weekend everyone". She then asked for any mums going through the same thing to reach out as she said: "(Ps For those also facing any of these cases, Laryngomalacia especially, It would be so reassuring hearing your story, thank you) xx."
The Instagram star was quickly flooded with messages of support as fellow celebrity mum Georgia Kousoulou wrote: "Sending you lots of love ! So glad he is home".
While a fan added: "Your gut will never let you down esp when it’s with your children! Hopefully now you can get some answers, support and enjoy your beautiful family x". And a third penned: "You poor thing. So glad you are home and sending lots of love xxx".
