Lottie Tomlinson shares health update after being rushed to hospital for emergency surgery in Abu Dhabi
Lottie Tomlinson has shared a health update after she revealed that she was rushed to hospital in Abu Dhabi for emergency surgery. The influencer, 26, who is one of One Direction star Louis Tomlinson 's sisters, had flown to the country with her fiance Lewis Burton and their children. But Lottie said she started to feel unwell on the plane there, with stomach pains getting worse before she eventually vomited. After landing in Au Dhabi, Lottie went to see a doctor and was put on a drip - but when it didn't help the pain she was sent to hospital where it was discovered she had appendicitis. Lottie was then rushed for emergency surgery to have her appendix removed and shared a clip explaining the scare from her hospital bed on Instagram on Thursday as she recovered. And in the latest update, Lottie took to her Instagram Stories on Thursday evening and revealed that she has been discharged from the hospital. Posting a photo from the back of a cab while holding hands with partner Lewis, she wrote: 'Out of hospital and on the way to the hotel to rest. Thank you all so much for the kind messages.' She later shared a heartwarming image of Lewis with their two children in the pool, adding: 'Back where I belong. You make everything better.' Just the day earlier, Lottie informed her follower that she 'didn't expect to start our trip like this.' 'So I didn't expect to start our trip like this but I'm just grateful that I'm recovering now,' she began. 'I felt quite ill on the way here, on the plane, really bad stomach pains. 'Then I started throwing up when I got here and long story short I went to the doctor and they put me on a drip - but it wasn't helping with the pain, the stomach pains. 'So they sent me to hospital where they discovered that I had appendicitis so I needed surgery straight away, so last night I had surgery to remove my appendix and it all went well, so I'm just now recovering. 'But I'm so grateful to all the nurses and doctors that have looked after me and I'm hoping that I can make a quick recovery.' She captioned the clip: 'Thank you to all the lovely doctors and nurses here in Abu Dhabi.' Lottie also shared a snap of Lewis sitting by her ward with their two-year-old son Lucky as they kept her company. The couple also welcomed their second child, a daughter called Flossie, in January. 'Hopefully I can make a speedy recovery and enjoy our last few days here,' she captioned the snap of Lewis and Lucky. It comes after last month Lottie admitted her cosmetic procedures became a 'never-ending cycle' as she candidly opened up about using filler and having beauty treatments. The influencer has had her lip and cheek filler dissolved and previously said she noticed the cosmetic procedures had 'got out of control'. But in May Lottie revealed that she first turned to cosmetic treatments after 'losing her confidence' after her mum Johannah Deakin's death in 2016 at the age of 43. She said she believes her mum 'sugarcoated' her diagnosis and she never realised 'how bad' she was until near the end. The influencer has had her lip and cheek filler dissolved and previously said she noticed the cosmetic procedures had 'got out of control'; pictured 2021 Speaking to Giovanna Fletcher on her Happy Mum Happy Baby podcast, she revealed that becoming a mother herself has changed the way she views herself and given her her confidence back. Lottie said: 'I felt like it was making me happy, you know? Losing the weight and feeling slimmer definitely made me feel better in myself. 'But in terms of the fillers and the beauty treatments, it was just a never-ending thing of trying to catch up with yourself. 'And, like, when you lose someone as close as your mum, it affects your confidence a lot. 'That's something I never expected, because if you think about it, your mum is the one person that cheers you on, that loves you unconditionally, that's there to give you that, you know, reassurance and support. 'So when you lose that, you kind of lose that, you know, confidence in yourself. 'So I think I was constantly chasing, trying to find that confidence, thinking I would find it in these, you know, fillers and how I looked.'

Hospital apologises after misdiagnosis of seven-year-old's appendicitis
A hospital has apologised to a girl whose appendicitis was misdiagnosed at its emergency department in July, 2022, before her appendix later ruptured. A letter of apology from University Hospital Galway (UHG) was read in the High Court as Ariana Mocanu settled a legal action against the Health Service Executive (HSE) for €64,000. Jeremy Maher SC, instructed by PBN Litigation for Ariana, told the court the girl – who was seven years old at the time – had been incorrectly diagnosed with a urinary tract infection and discharged after midnight with antibiotics. Nine hours later, counsel said, she was brought back to the hospital but her acute appendicitis had progressed to a perforated appendix and peritonitis. She required urgent surgery. READ MORE Counsel said the girl's father had, on a number of occasions, raised the possibility of appendicitis with the hospital's treating medic but was told it was a urinary tract infection. Mr Justice Paul Coffey was told that liability and causation in the case are contested. In a letter, UHG said Ariana had been assessed by an emergency medicine doctor who formed the opinion, based on her presenting complaints, that the diagnosis was more likely to be a urinary tract infection than appendicitis. 'On this occasion, the diagnosis turned out to be incorrect. The hospital apologises for this initial misdiagnosis,' the letter from hospital manager Chris Kane said. It added: 'We regret what Ariana and her family went through and we wish Ariana and her family the very best.' Mr Maher told the court that experts on their side would say there was never a case where she should have been sent home. He said the HSE contended surgery would not have been possible at the hospital before morning in any event, which counsel said he found to be bizarre. Ariana had to have open surgery the next day and counsel said she had shown incredible courage. Ariana, from Gorey, Co Wexford, sued the HSE through her father. Outside court, the girl's parents, Diana and Petru Mocanu, through solicitor Piarais Neary, said they had brought the case for Ariana and to highlight to other parents the risk of appendicitis and to know the signs and when to seek urgent medical treatment. They said they welcomed the apology after three years. The young girl was brought to UHG on July 23rd, 2022 complaining of acute central abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. In the proceedings, it was claimed there was afailure to take any reasonable care for the safety of the girl and an alleged failure to exercise an appropriate level of skill, competence and diligence in or about the diagnosis, assessment, management and treatment of the child when she presented at the hospital. It was claimed she had been discharged with an incorrect diagnosis whereas she should have been admitted. All of the claims were denied. Approving the settlement, Mr Justice Coffey said he was satisfied it was fair and reasonable.
