Katie Price ‘s poorly son Harvey remains seriously ill in hospital and could be in intensive care for weeks.
The 42-year-old former glamour model was left devastated over the weekend when her 18-year-old son was rushed to hospital after he was left struggling to breathe.
Katie confirmed earlier this week that Harvey did not have coronavirus but was in intensive care due to his “complex” medical condition.
A source has told The Sun Online that Harvey is still dangerously ill and the 18-year-old star needs around the clock care from doctors.
They told the publication: “Harvey’s a fighter and being very brave, but he’s not out of the woods yet.

“He’s still very seriously ill and could be in intensive care for weeks yet. His health issues are so complicated that everyone wants to make sure everything is treated.”
“It’s heartbreaking for Katie.”
A rep for Katie told Sun Online: “Harvey remains as a patient in ICU and is expected to be in hospital for a little while yet.”
It was reported that Harvey was being tested for Covid-19 as part of hospital routine but Katie took to Instagram on Tuesday night to confirm the teen does not have the killer virus.

An insider told The Sun: “Harvey has been tested for the virus after he was having trouble breathing.
“Katie’s seriously worried about him because his health complications would mean that catching coronavirus would be very serious.”
Katie’s spokesperson confirmed that Harvey had been tested for coronavirus on Monday, telling the MailOnline that the star was “remaining calm” as she waited for her son’s results.
Harvey, who has Prader-Willi syndrome and is blind and autistic, was taken to hospital two weeks ago for “urgent medical care” after falling ill at his sister Princess’ 13th birthday celebration.
He had complained of “needle-like” chest pains and was treated by doctors and discharged the same day.
Katie is a mother to Harvey, 18, Junior, 15, Princess, 13, Jett, six, and Bunny, five.
