Their son Oakley has Apert Syndrome, a genetic disorder that causes fusion of the skull, hands, and feet bones.
Taking to her Instagram story, Talia posted a sweet image of Oakley and penned: “Today was a really hard experience with trying to get Oakley to sleep. (In theatre)
“He started to lash out at me which is understandable as he doesn’t understand why we are here or what is about to happen at the time.
“We both got really upset and especially when the sleepy gas mask was on, he was fighting against me and the staff.
“I know he’s getting older and more aware. With Oakley having autism it makes situations more difficult.
“Next time he will need a pre-med as it was far too much for me and him to deal with.
“He is a trooper today and is resting. Waiting for antibiotics through his canula.”
Aaron and Talia welcomed Oakley into the world in February 2022.
Just a few days ago, Talia sparked concern after revealing their son couldn’t stop being sick ahead of his crucial surgery.
She also previously took to Instagram to post a proud video of her son taking his first steps and shared an update with her followers.
Alongside the clip, she wrote: “Oakley has been using a walking frame for a few months now.
“He’s had some shoes made for him as it’s impossible to get shoes that fit his feet.”
Fans rushed to comment on the upload, with one writing: “He’s a legend. Well done Oakley.”
Another said: “So emotional, what a little beauty, well done Oakley and to mummy!”
What is Apert Syndrome?
APERT syndrome, also known as acrocephalosyndactyly, is a rare disorder that is named after the doctor who first discovered it in the early 20th century.
It is a genetic condition and is caused by a mutation of the FGFR2 gene.
This affects how cells in the body – namely bone cells – grow, divide and die.
Children born with Apert syndrome have a characteristic appearance, which is caused by the bones in the skull and face fusing and not growing in proportion, according to Great Ormond Street Hospital.
It can increase a child’s risk of hydrocephalus, which results in pressure building on the brain, and it can also cause Chiari malformation, where the base of the brain is squeezed.
Other complications include breathing difficulties and heart problems, which require life-long monitoring.
The condition is said to occurs in one in every 65,000 to 88,000 births and a child’s outlook can vary greatly depending on the severity of symptoms
And a third added: “What an inspiration you both are.”
The former couple also share Romeo, four, and Maddox, three.
They got together in 2017 but split just months after Oakley’s birth.
