The tot’s worried mum Talia revealed Oakley was in hospital by sharing a picture of him lying in a metal cot on Instagram.
She later said: “Oakley deteriorated very quickly.
“He’s had an abdominal X-ray…. we tried to do a CT but he went wild.
“4 cannula tries later from three different people and we have fluids! (They did amazing).
“We are waiting for him to have fluids and his melatonin to try the CT scan again.”
She added: “They want to rule out any CSF issues (which he had back in Liverpool).”
Talia has since updated fans from the hospital and said he would be sedated before having the scan, which has concerned her.
The worried mum recorded a video as she stroked Oakley’s hair while he sat on her lap.
She said: “We’ve tried twice to get a CT scan on his head but he just goes wild as soon as he goes into the room.
He’s normally good as gold with CT scans but maybe he’s getting older and he’s getting more aware.
“He’s got to have an anaesthetic for that, which I’m a bit gutted about. The last time he had an anaesthetic he was in Liverpool and it was just a horrible experience.
“But they’ve got no choice to run the tests. He’s on IVs and has been all night, so he’s just not feeling great whatsoever, bless him.”
Aaron and Talia welcomed Oakley into the world in February 2023. They also share Romeo, four, and Maddox, three.
The former couple got together in 2017 but split just months after Oakley’s birth. They are often praised for the positive way they co-parent their children.
Oakley has been diagnosed with Apert Syndrome, a genetic disorder that causes fusion of the skull, hands, and feet bones.
Last month, he took his first steps without the aid of a walking frame.
The emotional moment came eight months after Oakley underwent emergency surgery .
He needed the life-saving operation after a hole was found in his skull, causing brain fluid to leak out.
Oakley had to stay in hospital for five weeks, with Talia explaining that he had suffered complications.
