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.

When I was rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery, I only worried about who would care for my baby
I woke up one day with a pain in my abdomen, but brushed it off as gas. Later that day, I was rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery on my appendix. My main concern was my 18-month-old son, who had never been away from me in his life. The day started like any other one. I had planned a casual mall outing with my son, who was around 18 months old at the time, and my two closest friends. I had been feeling mild abdominal discomfort since the morning, but brushed it off as gas and took an antacid. After all, I was a mom now, so there was little time to indulge in aches or pains. By the time I met my friends, the pain had sharpened. Still, I kept going. But that afternoon, as we sat in the food court, the pain escalated into something I couldn't ignore. Then everything blurred, and I almost passed out in front of a stunned crowd. One of my friends, a doctor, quickly took charge. Within minutes, I was rushed to the emergency room at the hospital where she worked. I was barely conscious, nauseated, and in blinding pain. Tests confirmed what she had suspected: a severely inflamed appendix, about to burst. My friends informed my husband, who came right away, and the doctors told him I needed emergency surgery. But the surgery wasn't what scared me the most. I was worried about my baby. I wasn't afraid of the surgery or the possibility of complications. I was afraid of not being there for my one-and-a-half-year-old son. He had never spent a night away from me or his father. He only ate what I prepared, slept cuddled next to me, and cried at the idea of anyone else changing his diaper. The thought of him waking up in another place, calling for me and not finding me, was more painful than the physical agony I was going through at the hospital. To make things worse, no private hospital rooms were available. That meant my son couldn't stay with my husband while he was with me at the hospital. My mind spiraled. Between vomiting from pain and being prepped for surgery, I kept repeating, "He won't eat. He won't sleep. He'll cry for me." As if things weren't bad enough, my mother and parents-in-law were out of town, leaving me worried about who we could turn to. But in that crucial moment, help came from the people who could. One of my sisters, despite her full-time job and three young children of her own, took in my son without hesitation. She put her own busy life on hold. Later, she told me how my son was confused and quiet at first in response to all that was happening. But slowly, with the warmth of his aunt and the playfulness of his cousins, he was soon at ease. He even let her feed him and change him, something I believed was impossible. My other sister, husband, and some cousins on my husband's side took turns staying at the hospital with me, offering reassuring words to ease my worries. The surgery went smoothly. When I regained consciousness, the first thing I asked was whether my son had eaten. My husband smiled and updated me about how he was having fun and properly ate what my sister made. I've never felt so relieved. This experience taught me that loving a child means surrendering to the fact that your heart now lives outside your body. You could be on an operating table with your insides screaming, but your mind will still be with your baby, wondering if he's had dinner. That incident made me realize that even with a strong support system from loved ones, you can't stop worrying about your child in distressing times. The helplessness, the guilt, the fear that he needed me, and I wasn't there, made me feel so vulnerable. Now, whenever a mom tells me she's tired, anxious, or afraid, I tell her I understand in a way I never could before. I've lived it, on a hospital bed, in blinding pain, with only one prayer in my heart: Let my baby be okay. Read the original article on Business Insider

North Texas police officer celebrates Father's Day with a new lease on life after heart emergency
This Father's Day holds special meaning for David Harney, a 45-year-old Highland Village police officer who survived a rare and often fatal heart condition known as an aortic dissection. Harney, a veteran officer of more than 20 years, said he initially dismissed his symptoms as fatigue from the start of the school year. David Harney, a 45-year-old Highland Village police officer David Harney "I attributed it to just being the beginning of the school year, being tired, having to be out directing traffic, things like that," Harney said. But one morning in August, he woke up with intense pain in his shoulder. "And it continued to radiate up my neck and then into my head," he said. "And every time my heart beat, after that, I felt like a gunshot was going off in my head." Emergency surgery and a second chance David Harney, a 45-year-old Highland Village police officer David Harney Harney was airlifted to Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas, where doctors discovered a tear in his aorta—the main artery carrying blood from the heart. "It's a life-threatening condition," said Dr. Andres Leal, Harney's cardiothoracic surgeon and a member of Texas Health Physicians Group's Texas Health Heart & Lung Surgical Specialists. "Unfortunately, when individuals don't seek medical treatment, most patients die within 24 to 72 hours after the onset of symptoms." Harney underwent emergency open-heart surgery and survived. He now reflects on how close he came to a different outcome. "It makes me appreciate things a lot more," he said. "I feel like I got a second chance." Back to work and family life Now back on the job, Harney is focusing on spending more time with his wife of 26 years and their two children. He's also using his experience to raise awareness about heart health, especially among law enforcement officers. Raising awareness for officers David Harney, a 45-year-old Highland Village police officer David Harney "Law enforcement officers face an increased risk for cardiovascular diseases," Harney said. "We take care of everybody else so much that we just don't take care of ourselves." Studies show officers are more likely to die from a heart attack than from violence in the line of duty. A message for other dads As he celebrates Father's Day, Harney has a message for other fathers: "Number one, take care of yourself. Listen to your body. Get your heart checked." According to Texas Health Dallas, aortic dissection causes approximately 13,000 deaths in the U.S. each year. Symptoms can include sudden and severe chest or back pain, shortness of breath, leg pain, and even temporary paralysis.
