Louise Thompson’s fiancé Ryan Libbey reveals why she was rushed into hospital

Louise Thompson‘s fiancé Ryan Libbey has revealed that she was rushed to hospital after suffering a haemorrhage.

Taking to Instagram to share an update on the Made In Chelsea star, Ryan explained that he and Louise were forced to cancel their holiday to St Lucia after she required emergency surgery and ‘close monitoring.’

Louise previously took to Instagram to share that she had an ‘unexpected medical situation’ but didn’t elaborate further.

The reality star spent a month in intensive care after welcoming son Leo-Hunter Libbey, 14 months, with boyfriend Ryan and suffers with PTSD and post-natal anxiety after the near-death birthing experience. 

Ryan added that since her health scare, Louise is ‘stable’ and is recovering at home, describing his girlfriend as a ‘warrior.’

Scary: Louise Thompson’s fiancé Ryan Libbey has revealed that she was rushed to hospital after suffering a haemorrhage

In the post to his Stories, Ryan wrote: ‘2023 started well for me and for my family.

‘Last Friday it got flipped on his head again. Louise haemorrhaged at home, again. Rushed to hospital for surgery and close monitoring for four days.

‘Louise is home now, stable and doing well. She’s a warrior!

‘Leo has picked up impetigo from nursery. Dad is tired.

‘We were supposed to be landing in St Lucia about now for a two-week break. I’ll be back online soon.’

A haemorrhage is medically defined as a loss of blood from damaged blood vessels, and they can be both internal and external.

It can occur in nearly any part of the body, and if it is unable to be controlled, or caused by a serious injury, it may require surgery. 

Earlier in the day, Louise took to her Instagram Stories to share her tips for ‘feeling better’ and staying ‘connected to reality’ while being in hospital.

Worrying: Louise previously took to Instagram to share that she had an ‘unexpected medical situation’ but didn’t elaborate further 

The reality star wrote from her hospital bed: ‘What a whirlwind. Here are some things that have kept me feeling better… and by better I mean more connected to reality.

‘When I was last in hospital for an extended period (felt like an eternity) I really detached from reality and couldn’t even turn on a phone or concentrate on anything for longer than a minute. I’ve learnt a lot from that experience.

‘TRY TO STAY CONNECTED AND CONTINUE AS NORMAL. Gosh, last time I even thought eating a chocolate Lindor ball that my brother bought me was going to kill me so I had to spit it out.’

She continued: ‘Talk to whoever you can find. Whether that’s nurses (don’t be offended if they’re at capacity and have to run off), family members over the phone, friends on WhatsApp, strangers on Instagram.

‘ANYTHING TO DISTRACT YOUR MIND. It might feel really weird messaging people about such significant life threatening events as if they’re daily activities, but for me it has helped normalising (or making logic) of what has happened and talking about it this time around.

Oh no! Earlier in the day, Louise took to her Instagram Stories to share her tips for ‘feeling better’ and staying ‘connected to reality’ while being in hospital

‘Last time I think I waited until my brain had made sense of what had happened until I opened up to people or saw people and that was a LONG TIME to wait.’ 

Louise revealed she broke down into tears after speaking with one friendly man who worked for a charity.  

She continued: ‘I spoke to a really sweet man with the charity sweetie trolley and he made me cry because he was so nice.

‘Take a selfie. It might sound weird or vain but good to remember what you look like. A quick glance in the mirror reaffirms our sense of self.

‘Viewing your ‘self’ in the mirror is an everyday lived experience for many outside the hospital. I developed a fear of mirrors after being in the hospital for so long last time, so not letting that happen again.’ 

Advice: The reality star wrote from her hospital bed: ‘What a whirlwind. Here are some things that have kept me feeling better… and by better I mean more connected to reality’

‘What a whirlwind’: Louise told fans to try and eat something, talk to whoever you can, take a selfie and brush their teeth to try and stay in the real world

Opening up: The TV personality also revealed she has been brushing her teeth this time in hospital after last time she was left with ‘brown spots around her gum line’

She also added that her ‘senses’ are really important at bringing her ‘back to reality and normality’ whether that’s through food or perfume. 

‘Eat something as soon as you’re allowed. Taste is one of the BEST senses and we wanna bring ourselves back to reality and normality’, she added.

‘I think for me using my senses (sight, sound, smell, taste, touch) as much as poss is important. On that note I could do with some fragrance, honestly the sweat that my body expels when on all the iv meds is horrendous

‘I’ve just realised how weird it is that I’m writing all these hospital ‘tips’ as if anyone else is actually going to go through the same weird experience as me.

‘This might just help, ME. Ps. I’m bored (which is a good sign because it means I’m not super ill)’.

Worrying: Louise revealed on Wednesday that the health issue had now caused her to miss her flight to St Lucia 

It comes after Louise revealed on Wednesday that the health issue has now caused her to miss her flight to St Lucia. 

She took a picture from her hospital bed and wrote: ‘We were supposed to be flying to St Lucia this morning.’

She admitted: ‘I am so upset that we aren’t able to go because I really needed some sun and sea’. 

However, bravely trying to say positive Louise added: ‘But at the same time I am SO grateful that this all happened on English soil because I have no idea what the outcome would have been abroad.’

It comes after Louise posted an update sat in a hospital bed, penning: ‘I’ve been quiet on here recently because I had a bit of an unexpected situation again. 

‘Don’t really know what to say right now, except for a huge thanks to everyone that’s kept the old ticker ticking. 

‘I feel like I’ve very much used up my quota of NHS services at this point. Eeek. I can’t help but feel a bit guilty about it all.

‘I guess the only message for today is to take NOTHING for granted. Oh and without sounding too dramatic, tell everyone that you love them RIGHT NOW.’
