Katie Price's sister reveals baby son has been rushed to hospital eight times in a month

Katie Price's younger sister Sophie has revealed her son has been rushed to hospital eight times in just a matter of weeks.

The businesswoman shared an emotional social media post about her struggles as she prayed for calmer times throughout the month of December.

Albert, one, has returned to nursery after several weeks off due to ill health with Sophie sharing a montage of clips of her one-year-old son as well as revealing he'd spent several nights as an inpatient before being placed on medication by doctors.

In view of her 100,000 followers, Sophie penned: "Today is the day.... He's going back to nursery and I can finally get organised!

"Please no more croup, viruses, or bugs!"

Sophie went on to say: "Please let us have a December with no trips to A&E (we've had 8 in the last month or so, and a few nights in hospital to top it off), or antibiotics!

"And please let me have a full night's sleep! Thank you...Sophie."

Her upload was soon flooded with comments from her followers, with one penning: "Fingers crossed, hope you're going to let him grow his beautiful hair longer it's absolutely gorgeous."

"So pleased Albert is well enough to go to nursery, he's certainly keeping you on your toes," added a second.

"Croup is a horrible and frightening illness, glad he's feeling better now," penned a fourth.

It comes just weeks after Sophie and Albert enjoyed a long walk in the countryside, which she documented on Instagram with an adorable snap which saw her carrying Albert in a giraffe print carrier on her chest.
