GEMMA ATKINSON’S HEARTBREAK AS SON SUFFERS PAINFUL EAR INFECTION
Gemma Atkinson, known for her role on Strictly Come Dancing, has opened up about her son’s recent health struggles. In an emotional Instagram post, the 38-year-old shared that her youngest child, Thiago, has been experiencing excruciating pain in his ears. She revealed that they are heading to the hospital for another check-up, hoping it will be the last one. Gemma expressed her concern for her son’s well-being, stating that she doesn’t want him to suffer any longer.
The devoted mother also admitted feeling guilty for initially misdiagnosing the source of Thiago’s pain. She thought it was his teeth causing the discomfort, but it turned out to be inflammation in his ears. Gemma shared her relief at having a supportive and caring doctor, who has been instrumental in their journey towards recovery.
As the family plans to go on an Easter break, Gemma expressed her desire for Thiago to feel better before they board a plane. She wants him to enjoy the vacation without any pain or discomfort. Gemma’s maternal instincts were also evident in her concern for a squirrel she recently befriended in her garden. Despite her partner, Gorka Marquez, dismissing her worries, Gemma is determined to ensure the squirrel, named Freddie or “Fredrina” if it’s a girl, is taken care of while they are away.
Fortunately, Gemma’s uncle Clive has stepped in to help and has committed to feeding the squirrel daily. Heartwarming videos shared on Gemma’s Instagram show the squirrel waiting eagerly by the window for its daily treat. While the squirrel is not completely tame yet, Gemma remains hopeful that their bond will continue to grow.
In addition to her love for parenting, both with her children and her newfound furry friend, Gemma and Gorka believe that their family is complete with their two kids. Gorka has even revealed his plans to undergo a vasectomy. Gemma’s fans are sending their well wishes for Thiago’s recovery and eagerly await updates on both her son and her adorable squirrel companion.
