"I know I’ve only been away from him for 2 days/nights but that’s a lot for us. he’s my best friend.
"It was so nice to be reunited just not great circumstances.
"Noah hated seeing his baby brother like this, he can’t wait to have him home… & better but he made us giggle.
"I got to go home for an hour and have a bath thanks to my mama/nanny trace for looking after Jude for an hour, can’t wait to all be home as a family soon…"
Last night Charlotte shared another update as she revealed that his symptoms were improving after a "scary" ordeal.
Hi darlings, I am exhausted but Jude is a bit better. It's crazy how common this RSV virus is and so many people have been in the same boat and it's not spoken enough at all.
"I didn't really know anything about it or realise the affects of it.
"The doctors just saying it was a cold but using our mothers instinct and just knowing our babies aren't right and getting here in the right time.
"It's just so scary to see your baby go through this at such a young age.
"When we go in here on Thursday, having bloods, X-rays and tubes everywhere, it was like 'oh my god'.
"He's starting to pick up a bit and they're turning his oxygen down slowly weaning him off - we're getting there.
"He's completely feeding on my, no feeding on the tube, so everything is getting better. I'm trying to be more positive."
She posted a sleeping picture of Jude and added: "Forced his way out of his swaddle, finally he's asleep...time for mama to try and get some rest, his temp keeps going up so nee dto keep him nice and cool. My beautiful baby boy."
