Louise Thompson celebrates being reunited along with her son Leo for his third birthday after fears she would miss the milestone amid ongoing well being scare

Louise Thompson celebrated being back with her family for her son Leo’s third birthday on Friday. 

The former Made In Chelsea star, 34, suffered another setback in her health this week after being rushed in for emergency surgery before going into septic shock.

The TV personality feared she would miss her son’s third birthday, however luckily she was able to make it home in time, and while the big birthday plans were cancelled, the mother-of-one admitted it was ‘a teeny loss in the grand scheme of things’. 

Taking to Instagram with an adorable video of her son, she penned: ‘It’s my son’s 3rd birthday. We were meant to be in Somerset for some big fancy family do/ staycation with VIP zoo experiences, catered meals, entertainment, glamping lodges, etc etc. the lot.

‘We’re not and it’s a bit of a shame, but a teeny tiny loss in the grand scheme of things. 

‘As you can imagine there have been lots of moving parts, but the main thing is that we’re back together and we’re ticking along just fine. 

‘We’re working hard to make this birthday the BEST possible experience for HIM because Leo is all that matters today. 

‘Ultimately we’re grouping together lots of the things he loves… luckily for us are nice simple, inexpensive things. Mainly cake and music and little toys and family.’

Taking it easy after being in hospital for two weeks, she shared that the family would be around at the weekend for more celebrations. 

Gushing over her son she continued: ‘I feel very lucky to have the coolest, funniest kid out there. I’ve whispered all the gushy stuff + sweet nothings into your ear holes tonight. Reserved for me n u. 

‘This video highlights how brave and fearless you are. Even the dogs were scared to cross this light well. Not le Leo! Character in droves. Proud of you, proud of us.’

On Friday Zara McDermott, who is dating Louise’s brother Sam, wished Leo a happy birthday and gushed that the little one helped them all ‘enjoy the little things’, amid his mum Louise’s ongoing health battle.

Alongside her sweet words she shared a photo as she cuddled up to the birthday boy who she lovingly calls ‘Leo Bear’.

Writing: ‘Happy Birthday to out sweet boy, THREE today! You light up every room you walk into with the biggest grin and infectious love for everyone’.

‘You remind us all to enjoy all the little things in life, to be more present and enjoy the most simple moments. You constantly raid my biscuit jars and smother me with kisses and cuddles which I love more than anything’.

Before adding: ‘I love you Leo Bear’. 

She then teased: ‘P.S Birthday post incoming tomorrow when I’m home from working away this week and I give him his pressie it’s…. EPIC’. 

On Thursday, Louise shared the joyous news that she would indeed be home in time to help her boy celebrate after fears she would still be in hospital recovering. 

Taking to Instagram, the mother-of-one shared a sweet video of her son enjoying bath time, with Louise expressing her joy that she gets to spend his special day with him.

Captioning the clip, the TV personality penned: ‘I’ve never been more in love in my life. The way he says ‘Claus’. I must have watched this video 100000x over the past two weeks.

‘Tomorrow you turn 3. Wow. And I get to spend it with you. Double wow. I know what’s on the top of my gratitude list.’

The TV personality later shared the clip to her Instagram stories, adding: ‘The video that makes all the pain go away’. 

It comes after Louise revealed she has been left ‘sad and a bit confused’ after her fiancé Ryan Libbey decided to do their podcast solo, despite her terrifying rush to hospital. 

She has been in hospital for two weeks, however Ryan soldiered on with the couple’s podcast He Said, She Said as he went solo for the recent episode and explained the traumatic ordeal. 

Taking to her Instagram Story to share the podcast, Louise was left heartbroken by the clip as she admitted she wouldn’t be listening herself. 

She penned: ‘Just watching this 1 clip broke my heart so I won’t be listening to the pod this week until I’m waaaaay recovered and feeling so far removed from this challenge.’ 

Appearing to criticise the decision to go ahead with the podcast in her absence, she added: ‘makes me really sad and a bit confused as to why Ryan had to host a solo ep THIS early on into our pod journey, but hey go. 

‘I’m v proud of you for getting on and doing it.’

Ryan explained during the episode how he rushed his partner to A&E when she suffered agonising abdominal pain.

He said he had returned from a weekend visiting his family in Devon to find Louise  ‘rolling around in heaps of pain’ at the London home their share with Leo.

By the early hours of the morning she could take no more and Ryan rushed her to A&E ‘and a few hours later she was on the operating table.’

Louise underwent surgery ‘in the same tummy area that she’s been recovering from since earlier this year with her stoma surgery. It was completely unexpected,’ Ryan told listeners.

Complications arose and she went into septic shock after the operation which Ryan explained ‘shows the severity of how bad things got.’

Ryan reassured listeners that his fiancée is recovering, and is out of the intensive care unit, but he confessed the terrifying ordeal has taken its toll on both of them.

Louise also posted an Instagram update on Wednesday, telling her followers: ‘The world feels like it’s been a bit unkind to me again.’

The star shared a photo of Ryan placing a sunshine balloon at the end of her bed as she told her followers: ‘It’s World kindness day. The world feels like it’s been a bit unkind to me again.’

She added that she hopes to be home soon, especially as it her son Leo’s third birthday on November 15. 

‘Today is a new day. And that hopefully means home,’ she continued. ‘I really hate to say it but I’ve been back in hospital feeling very poorly (I feel like the word ‘poorly’ warrants the label of an Onomatopoeia – everything about it resembles elderly, frail illnessy stuff).’

‘As I say it I feel like a grandma blowing out bubbles for words. It looks and sounds sick. Like I did. Even though I’m also confusingly only 34 and incredibly strong. Mentally and physically STRONG. If I do say so myself.’

Louise went on to admit ‘I’m almost embarrassed at this point. BUT there is light,’ as she thanked hospital staff and her friends and family for taking care of her. 

‘Despite The Surgery The Butt drain The Catheter The Stoma The Robinsons drains Dreaded Pigtail drain Copious cannulas, damn I wish I’d accepted that picc line Blood tests galore My poor poor bod. I’ve felt like a bit of a zombie. There have been beacons of kindness EVERYWHERE.’

‘It’s been needed because oh goodness me it’s been quite scary seeing my body laden with so many foreign objects. I’m amazed I even managed to move with all that in at one point.’

‘I literally had a tail dangling out of me. Stitched in. In fact I felt like an octopus with multiple legs or tubes (turns out a cannula with different entry points is called an octopus too). Great minds. Or a great subconscious mind and memory of mine.’

‘Ahhh the joy of heavy heavy opioids for getting me through the worst of it. Thank goodness for poppies. Thank goodness for science. Thank goodness for modern medicine.’

‘Back to the important thing : kindness. There have been many many people who have been incredibly kind who have got me through. Like BEYOND KIND.’

‘Angel level of kind. The kind of people you meet and think gosh I wish I was as kind as you because you are next level kind, going out of your way to help others. You really are a superstar kind of god given gift.’

‘It’s really remarkable that there are people out there that are THIS cool. Actually I don’t mean cool. I mean warm, really really warm. Because warm > cool. The world is a better place because of you.’

‘My faith in humanity is actually at an all time high right now.’

‘I don’t know how much more she can take,’ he said. ‘It’s soul destroying, it takes the wind right out of your sails.’
