Greg Rutherford's Daughter Hospitalized with Croup

Olympic gold medallist Greg Rutherford's three-year-old daughter, Daphne, was rushed to the hospital after experiencing severe breathing difficulties due to croup. His fiancée, Susie Verrill, shared on Instagram that Daphne was initially calm, which led her to delay seeking medical assistance, but she later expressed relief after receiving steroids at the hospital. Susie reflected on her guilt for not taking Daphne in sooner, noting that they usually manage croup at home with cold air and hydration. After treatment, Daphne showed significant improvement, with Susie posting updates of her daughter feeling better. Croup, a common respiratory condition in young children, can cause airway swelling and difficulty breathing, and it is crucial to monitor symptoms closely. The couple shares three children together: Milo, nine; Rex, six; and Daphne, three.
