‘We called an ambulance which came quickly and got us to hospital and he is fine now (just waiting for the last of the spots to go).
‘Anyway the first seizure happened when he was in the bath and within moments he was face down under the water and jerking uncontrollably. Luckily I was sitting next to the bath and was able to pick him straight up and call Matt to help but it makes me feel sick to think of what might’ve happened.
‘I wouldn’t usually share stuff like this but it’s easy to quickly put the socks in the wash or grab some pyjamas while the kids are in the bath but basically don’t… defo not worth the risk!
‘P.s. As you can see, he’s much better and enjoying his holiday’ (sic).
Sarah shared a picture of Mauro in a hospital bed as he recovered from the health scare.
The mother-of-two also uploaded several photos from their sun-soaked family holiday, with Mauro back on his feet again.
