Louise’s Paris Getaway: The Shocking Item She Forgot After 14 Months

BBG News

Louise Thompson recently shared that she’s embarked on her initial vacation in the past 14 months, as her previous travel ended abruptly due to a health emergency.

Previously known from Made In Chelsea, the 34-year-old shared on Instagram that she, her partner Ryan Libbey, and their three-year-old son Leo had ventured to Paris. However, amidst their joy over the journey, they inadvertently left behind a crucial item.

Louise confessed that because it had been so long since she and Ryan traveled abroad with their son Leo, they overlooked packing the stroller, and inadvertently reserved a restaurant suitable only for adults.

She rephrased: ‘Gradually resuming international travel by taking a 2-hour train journey to Paris. It’s hard to believe it’s already been an entire year since our last overseas family vacation as a trio. Time seems to fly, doesn’t it?’

‘I have plenty to share with you! For instance, our lack of recent practice is evident as we inadvertently left the stroller at home and planned an intricate gourmet journey more suitable for grown-ups rather than little ones.’

‘But we made it work. And for now La famille avant tout. That is all.’

In February 2024, Louise’s last overseas journey took her to Antigua, however, she had to return home prematurely due to experiencing heavy bleeding approximately every 20 minutes, as she confessed later on.

After experiencing various health problems since the birth of her son Leo, the star eventually sought treatment at a London hospital.

In an unexpected health development, I felt compelled to share my current state with all of you. I’ve been going through a challenging phase, yet I want everyone to know I’m not only still here but also receiving excellent medical attention. My well-being is being diligently looked after, and I’m hopeful for a full recovery.

From her hospital bed, she posted a picture and expressed: “An unforeseen twist of fate has occurred, but since connections need to be maintained, let’s begin with some positive news. I’ve been discharged from the hospital after two weeks and change, and I am incredibly thankful for my home and life.

‘In brief, I’ll provide a summary since I find myself struggling with complex sentences right now. This should help us move more efficiently later on.’

In her extended message, she went on to say: ‘Journeyed across the globe to Antigua and managed to make it through. I even caked myself with makeup. I rode the crest of steroid surges – if you’re familiar, you understand… these substances are quite powerful.’

I mustered all the strength I had to put on a brave face, giving the impression that I was doing well. However, I couldn’t shake off the feeling of being unwell within me. All I wished for was the best for Leo, my family, and our shared memories.

2024 had been eagerly anticipated for a long time as my year… I had numerous exciting projects planned, including the unveiling of one of the most significant and transformative events in both my professional and personal life: the announcement of my book, along with other positive mental anchors.

It struck me as well that, having managed to escape from the dark abyss of mental health struggles I’d faced, there was nothing strong enough to knock me off balance again. Surely, nothing would be as challenging as that experience… wouldn’t it?

It’s more challenging to deal with mental issues compared to physical ones, but neither should be underestimated as they both bring immense pain and can make you feel helpless. It’s hard to experience one without encountering the other, as they are deeply interconnected.

Nonetheless, I believed I was prepared for any challenge. Yet, how little I foresaw… My ability to bounce back had significantly increased. In addition, I had grown accustomed to adversity.

In simpler terms, most individuals would likely seek emergency care on their first day with such symptoms as mine. However, without going into explicit detail, I can confidently state that due to my familiarity with my ongoing health issue, I’ve come to accept it as a part of my daily life.

During my leisure time, I often dozed off unpredictably in the car, during the day, and even on the beach. Unfortunately, I found it difficult to move around or lift Leo at those times. As a result, poor Ryan had to take up additional responsibilities.

Louise added: “I was often confused and disoriented, but I persevered. I hoped my body would endure. I looked forward to resting when Leo went to bed at 7 pm. Somehow, I managed to survive each day.

As a fervent admirer, my anxiety spiraled to new heights with each trip to the bathroom, every visit leaving me drained of another cupful of blood every 20 minutes.

I’ve been managing, concealing symptoms, and making up for deficiencies, which I think is mainly due to my youth and robust health. It’s quite remarkable, truly.

‘Raised alarm bells to my family. Especially given other things I’d been through⁣.

I was overwhelmed and things weren’t improving on their own. I needed more than just self-healing, a healthier lifestyle, or the usual tips; it was time for something else to help me feel better.

In the face of excessive inflammation, I found myself in a precarious situation that I couldn’t afford to worsen while being abroad, particularly with limited healthcare resources available. The lack of my medical records only added to my anxiety. Consequently, I made the decision to secure an immediate flight back to the UK, prioritizing my health and wellbeing.

Reached my destination, faced difficulties returning but it was worth every effort to get back home. Immediately headed to the emergency room, had blood tests done and was admitted. My condition worsened rapidly, but I’m grateful for being safe. Extremely thankful for the National Health Service (NHS).

Moving on… I find myself well and under excellent supervision. The care I’ve received, particularly in the ICU, has been nothing short of exceptional. It’s moved me to tears due to its kindness and quality. I’ll have a long list of gratitude to express, with numerous letters to write. There are also many ways I hope to contribute in the future. For now, though, let’s take things one step at a time. Let’s start walking first.

There have been a mix of highs and lows, with moments that were quite unsettling. Hospitals can be truly terrifying when you’re on the other side of the privacy curtain.

Experiencing anesthesia can be quite terrifying. The thought of central and arterial lines is unsettling, as well as seeing bags, balloons, and drains connected to one’s body. Truly, my admiration for healthcare professionals knows no bounds.

As you spend more time here, especially in these unusual and tense conditions, it’s natural to start feeling apprehensive or anxious.

PTSD isn’t making life easier. Moreover, it’s frustrating that things don’t seem to be progressing in a straight line. What on earth is happening to my body that’s supposed to be blossoming? Why can’t I remember what I want to ask? Things just keep getting worse and I can’t help but wonder when they will get better. The uncertainty of the future is perhaps the most challenging aspect of recovery. The waiting. And it’s even harder when I’m experiencing such intense pain. ⁣⁣

In this version, I tried to use more conversational language and simplify some of the phrasing to make it more easily understood. For example, “things aren’t moving in a ‘linear direction'” was changed to “things don’t seem to be progressing in a straight line” and “arguably the worst part of recovery” was changed to “perhaps the most challenging aspect of recovery”. Additionally, I added some emphasis by using exclamation marks where appropriate.

However, I’m determined not to fall back. I’m a resilient cookie, putting in my best effort towards a swift recovery.

There’s going to be a bright side, I assure you. I’ve already been on the hunt for it and have discovered some promising leads.

A gentle nudge to prioritize health above all else, placing it as the top priority, followed closely by my loved ones, including my dear child.

She summarized her thoughts: “I aim to carry on with life as routinely as possible, since I believe that staying connected, centered, and mindful benefits me greatly mentally. Furthermore, I remain convinced that 2024 will be an exceptional year!

Prior to Louise’s health issue, she had shared pictures from the family vacation with Ryan, Leo, and her dad in Antigua and Barbuda on her social media.

On January 28th, she shared a series of pictures showing her with baby Leo, accompanied by a heartfelt message expressing gratitude for the fleeting, less-than-perfect instances in life, as everything eventually changes.

In April, Louise disclosed that she underwent the installation of a ‘life-saving’ ostomy bag, which she received after enduring several years with ulcerative colitis since her diagnosis in 2018.

Previously, Louise has openly discussed her long-term battles with inflammatory bowel disorder, ulcerative colitis, and the autoimmune disorder, lupus.

As a devoted follower, I’m sharing some insights about my personal experience with an ongoing health issue – ulcerative colitis. This chronic condition affects my colon and rectum, causing inflammation that leads to the development of small sores or ulcers on the lining of my colon. Sometimes, these ulcers may bleed. Despite it being incurable, effective management strategies can help control its impact over time.

Louise has experienced a string of health issues since the birth of her son, Leo, about two years back.

The mother of one was diagnosed with PTSD and postnatal anxiety after nearly dying during labour.

During the ordeal, Louise experienced significant hearing loss, and it was only in 2022 that she disclosed her weekly tears, which number around 20.

In the very same year, I found myself grappling with a diagnosis of Lupus – an autoimmune disorder that wreaks havoc on one’s immune system, leading to symptoms such as joint pain, skin rashes, and overwhelming fatigue. This life-changing revelation marked the beginning of a journey filled with self-discovery, resilience, and a deepened appreciation for health and wellness.

Recently, she revealed that she has penned down a book titled “Lucky: Learning To Live Again,” which narrates her harrowing experience during pregnancy.

Sharing her sentiments, Louise expressed both readiness and fear as she prepared to embark on a fresh journey, prompted to assist others by recounting her own experiences.
