The doting mum, 30, had previously posted a heartbreaking photo of her baby son hooked up to an IV tube in hospital. Detailing their horrifying experience, Lucy wrote: "As some of you may have noticed we haven't been on social media lately.
"Just over a week ago I found Roman blue in his cot - probably every parent's worst nightmare. Without going into too much detail it ended up with Roman being transferred to St Mary's London intensive care being put on a ventilator. Thankfully we are now all home and Roman is back to his cheeky self."

Lucy then said she was "eternally grateful" to the NHS - the ambulance service, Basildon hospital, St Mary's hospital – as well as the Cosmic charity - which cares for babies and young children in intensive care.
She added: "Although mentally we as a family may never fully recover, we feel extremely blessed to have our special boy home in our arms and it has truly opened our eyes to all the hardworking superheroes working in our hospitals who dedicate their lives to helping others and how extremely lucky we are to have these incredible medical services free for us all in the UK.
"Thank you NHS and all the charities that support the NHS."

"As parents, it's been one of the scariest times of our lives but with thanks to our amazing doctors & nurses we have king Roman back playing, smiling & more importantly eating, I would like to thank the @nhs and also @cosmic_charity who have been unbelievable, You both really are the real-life superheroes."
