The RTÉ favourite revealed that her daughter spent three days in Crumlin Children's Hospital after contracting RSV and she recalled that ordeal they went through at the time
Kathryn Thomas has warned parents to look out for the symptoms of RSV after her youngest daughter Grace was previously rushed to hospital for treatment.
Sharing her story, Kathryn began: "Everything was going swimmingly, we had everybody around with cuddles and kisses and we were walking Ellie to school. "The only thing I knew at that stage as a mother to be panicking about was if the child had a temperature." "I was at the school gate and one of the mothers looked into the buggy and I said, 'I don't want to be clogging up the waiting rooms, it's just a head cold."They took her temperature - I had been taking her temperature - and she had a slightly raised temperature. They basically took her straight in, they did a spinal lumbar puncture on her.
For Kathryn, she wishes that she had acted sooner because it was "the most terrifying thing" as a mother - and everything happened so quickly.
