Harry Potter actress Bonnie Wright has revealed that her five-week-old baby son, Aster Sky Wright Lococo, has been hospitalised six times since his birth.
Wright, 35, shared the update about her youngest child with her husband, Andrew Lococo, in an Instagram post on Saturday, November 7. She explained that the newborn has required repeated hospital stays to treat a medical condition that was diagnosed while she was pregnant.
In her message, the actress wrote that her sweet little son had already spent six periods in hospital during his first five weeks of life. She noted that he is undergoing treatment for a condition she and Lococo already knew before his delivery that he would be born with, though she did not disclose the specific diagnosis.
Despite the difficulties the infant has faced since birth, Wright highlighted her son's strength throughout the process and described him as a very strong and calm baby.
Family support network and life with two children
Wright also used the post to thank close friends and relatives who have stepped in to help the family manage the routine of medical care alongside everyday life. She said she felt lucky to have loved ones who have been so present for her household in recent weeks.
According to the actress, friends and family members have been helping take the couple's older child, Elio, to preschool, preparing meals for the family, and checking in regularly to ask how they are doing. She told her followers that it is possible to count on a support network during difficult times and encouraged readers to send a message or call their friends.
