She continued: “I’d like to say thank you to the paramedics and nurses and doctors who were amazing.
“Thank you so much. I was literally there, at the Stoke hospital. That was awful, just horrible, horrible, horrible. To see your child in pain was just horrendous, but he’s ok.
“There is not much you can do for it, apparently like it mends by itself, but it’s horrible, when you’re a mum and you wish you could take pain away from them.”
