She said that before he choked, Hunter had been suffering from croup and an ear infection and said that she and Hayley managed to get him ‘conscious again’ after choking. 

The pair were in Melbourne to visit her ailing mother, who is battling Alzheimer’s disease.

Fiona said Hunter is now a lot better, but is suffering from conjunctivitis after a virus.

‘One of the most terrifying moments in our parenthood journey to date,’ Fiona captioned a photo where she’s nursing her son and on the brink of tears.

‘After battling croup and an ear infection last week we were hopeful little H would be on the mend. Instead his cough turned into another virus and as we were in our Melbourne hotel room a coughing fit saw him vomit choke and go limp for what seemed like an eternity. Thankfully we were able to clear his airways and get him conscious again before paramedics arrived.’

Hunter was rushed to the The Royal Children’s Hospital Melbourne.

‘My heart hurts for so many reasons, for H and how sick he is, and for not being able to see my beautiful Mum who continues to deteriorate from Alzheimer’s,’ Fiona said. 

She added that they’ll be going home to their Sydney base soon: ‘It’s been one hell of a week, I’m grateful we are okay and just hope we can finally get our little man well again.’

‘Our poor sick little man it just breaks my heart to see him this unwell. This virus has given him conjunctivitis,’ she added.

Underneath her post, Fiona received some well wishes from followers and fellow stars alike. 

Champion swimmer Giaan Rooney commented: ‘Terrifying… wishing you all a speedy recovery.’

‘Sending love,’ former radio host turned PR specialist Mel Greig wrote.
