RTE host Kathryn Thomas reveals newborn baby was rushed to Crumlin hospital

RTE star Kathryn Thomas revealed that her newborn baby was rushed to Crumlin hospital last week.

The presenter had a stressful few days as her little girl Grace was brought into A&E over breathing difficulties.

Kathryn told her Instagram followers that her gorgeous baby was diagnosed with bronchiolitis but thankfully is now home safe with her family.

Sharing a photo of Grace hooked up to hospital machines, the Operation Transformation host asked her followers to donate to the Toy Show appeal.

She told her fans: ‘There is still time to donate to the @latelaterte Toy Show appeal. We are only catching up now as we spent three days in Crumlin with little Grace.

‘Her breathing got v laboured on Wednesday so I brought her straight to A&E. She was diagnosed with bronchiolitis but thanks to the incredible nurses and doctors she’s home now and doing great.’

Kathryn continued: ‘Hospitals are difficult places to be but a children’s hospital is on another level.

‘But the care and compassion we received from the nurses day and night was unbelievable. I cannot thank them enough. We got to go home this weekend but so many families and their little mites didn’t.

‘Please if doing any last-minute shopping online, please donate if you can.’

As of Monday morning, the Late Late Toy Show has raised €6.5million.
