Ali Bastian told fans she had undergone a "rollercoaster" of emotions after rushing her two children to hospital.
The Hollyoaks star, 41, who played Becca Dean in the soap, is the proud mum of Isla, three, and Isabella, three moths.
Unfortunately, Isla ended up in hospital over the weekend with asthma after her little sister had been rushed in with a respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) a few weeks ago.
Taking to Instagram sharing a snap of her husband David O'Mahoney holding her eldest daughter, Ali wrote: "Massive thank you to the staff of Kingston Hospital for taking the most amazing care of Isla yesterday.
"Having never had asthma before she had a viral induced asthma attack. (Not a huge surprise though with our family history and her history of allergy).

Two days later, Ali, who had gestational diabetes with both pregnancies, went into labour.
She shared: "Isabella was in a really awkward position so it was quite a struggle to get her out.
"She was a little bit black and blue when she came out. She had bruises on one side of her face and a little cut on the other side from the forceps.
"And then I had a haemorrhage. I lost more blood than they were happy with but they treated me for that and got it under control quickly."
