Alongside a photo of her young son in hospital, the 33-year-old explained that he had been there for 10 days after being diagnosed with a rare but in some cases fatal illness.

She wrote in an emotional caption about his health battle: “‘We can go home now mom.’ Ron, you are VERY brave, VERY strong, VERY loved and just the most adorable little boy ever.

“We’ve spent 10 days living what feels like a real-life nightmare.

“But I just wanted to thank you all for so many kind messages and updates to all of you.”

She then continued: “Ron’s temperature spiked 40 degrees at home, I called an ambulance. Ron was admitted to the hospital and started on IV antibiotics but NOTHING worked, it was in fact the condition. Ronnie’s condition worsened.

“The amazing doctors and nurses started every blood test and scan you can imagine. We went through the rooms and hallways for days just waiting for an answer, the results were.. . whatever!

“Seeing Ron like that makes me scared and desperate like I’ve never had in my life. What’s going on with our son! Please tell me!”

But the ordeal for Mrs Hinch and her partner Jamie doesn’t stop there.

Ms. Hinch continued: “After a few days, more symptoms appeared and the results returned. Ron was diagnosed with Kawasaki disease, a disease I had never heard of before.

“Kawasaki disease is a rare, non-communicable disease that affects only around eight out of every 100,000 children under the age of five in the UK.

“This disease causes swelling of blood vessels throughout the body. It can also affect the blood vessels that supply the heart muscle if not treated early.”

The mother-of-two said the main symptoms to watch out for are “persistent high temperature, generalized rash, swelling and then peeling of hands and feet, red blistered lips, bloodshot eyes, strawberry tongue, inflammation throat and swelling. lymph glands.”

More on the situation, she added: “This past week has rocked the world as a family for us. I’ve never felt so scared.”

However, she later extended her special thanks to the hospital staff, who took care of and treated her son until he got home safely.

“Please if anyone reading this is the parent/caregiver of a child with Kawasaki disease Jamie and I would be grateful to hear from you and your story.

“I will do all I can to help raise awareness of this disease for which up to now there is no clear cause.
