ANGUISHED David Beckham yesterday told how he and Victoria have been beside themselves with worry over Romeo’s hospital dashes.
The three-year-old was admitted to a Madrid hospital on Tuesday suffering convulsions for the second time in three days.
And the 30-year-old England skipper admitted: “It’s been a tough week for the whole family. It’s worrying when your son goes into hospital twice in three days.â€
Doctors became concerned when Romeo developed a fever of 107.6°F and kept him in for observation.
Becks delayed joining the England squad after getting permission to be at his son’s bedside with Victoria, 31.
He said: “It's probably been one of the worst weeks of my life because of what’s happened to my son. It’s been hard.â€
Romeo has previously suffered convulsions twice while in England.
He was a year old when first taken to hospital near the family’s Herts home, Beckingham Palace, in October 2003. He was admitted for a second time last July.
On Saturday last week he was rushed in yet again, this time to Madrid’s La Paz hospital. His parents were pictured carrying the barefoot tot into A&E.
Romeo was released hours later after tests — only to fall ill again on Tuesday.
This time doctors only allowed him home following a night’s observation.
The tot is believed to have been placed on medication.
Yesterday Real Madrid midfielder Becks said the latest scare had made it difficult to focus on England’s crucial Word Cup qualifiers against Austria and Poland.
He added: “It makes it hard to concentrate on anything but the family.â€
Becks was sent off during the 1-0 win over Austria on Saturday and so will miss Wednesday’s Poland clash.
But he said he would be in the stadium at Old Trafford to cheer on his team-mates.
Becks said: “I’ll speak to Madrid first and see what they want me to do but I’ll definitely be here for the game against Poland and I’ll be looking after my son as well.â€
David and Victoria stayed at a hotel in Salford with Romeo and elder brother Brooklyn, five, after England qualified for the World Cup Finals on Saturday.
Neither Brooklyn nor the couple’s eight-month-old son Cruz have suffered any similar problems.
