Ashley James had a hectic weekend after her three-year-old son, Alfie, suffered a sudden seizure. The This Morning star has been open about her family life on social media, regularly sharing updates about her two children and partner, Tom Andrews. However, this weekend's events were far from the usual happy moments she likes to share.
Just a month ago, Ashley had to take Alfie to the emergency room after a fall, but thankfully, he was okay. This time, it was a different and more terrifying experience for the family. On Friday night, after a bath, Alfie suddenly complained of a sore stomach. Ashley's partner, Tommy, took their daughter, Ada, to bed while she tended to Alfie. But then, out of the blue, he started convulsing.
Ashley was understandably panicked and quickly got Alfie out of the bath and laid him down, thinking it might be trapped wind. But when the convulsions continued, she rushed him to the A&E. Thankfully, the seizure stopped on its own, but Alfie was still not feeling well the next day. Ashley took him to the doctor for a follow-up and was informed that he had a condition called Febrile Seizures.
Febrile Seizures are common in children under five and can occur when they have a fever. Ashley shared this information on social media, hoping to spread awareness and help other parents who might experience the same with their children. She also advised her followers to stay calm, put their child in the recovery position, and call 111 if in doubt.
After the scary incident, Ashley was in need of some reassurance and turned to her followers for advice. She also expressed her gratitude for the lovely Sunday they had together as a family, despite the events that took place. She ended her post by asking for any tips or advice from parents who have gone through a similar situation.
It's every parent's worst nightmare to see their child sick or in distress, and Ashley's experience was no different. She shared how everything else seemed to come to a halt when Alfie fell ill, and how scary it was for the entire family. But she also highlighted the importance of spreading awareness and being there for each other as a community.
