Shane was rushed into hospital on Monday and has been there since.
The Tipperary rocker has been confined to a wheelchair since shattering his pelvis in a horror fall several years ago.
MacGowan fell and broke his pelvis in 2016 and later fell and broke his knee and then ended up tearing ligaments in his left knee, injuries from which he has never fully recovered.
Victoria took to Instagram today to share the frustration she feels at this tough time.
She shared a sweet picture of herself and Shane smiling together and said: “It’s not so much of a challenge to stay positive and connected with your angels when life is going well and things are fun but when the s*** hits the fan and you are challenged by illness or anything that disrupts your ease it’s not going to be smooth sailing!
“Shane is in hospital now and I have been feeling the full range of feelings including desperate and hopeless and overwhelmed and anxious, and everything else that a human feels.
“But even if we collapse in a heap and cry our eyes out – there is always a part of us that knows that everything is going to work out and be ok.”
The writer is trying to stay positive.

She explained: “That everything that we experience is somehow contributing to our expansion and growth if we can trust and surrender and stay open to the possibility that we are moving forward in the direction of our hearts desires, even when things look bleak!”
Victoria thanked her friends and fans for all their support.
She said: “I am incredibly grateful to everyone who has been sending messages of encouragement and prayers for Shane.
BEST WISHES
“I am tuning in to the angels as often as I can and taking each moment as it comes.
“And I am sending love to everyone who is going through any kind of challenge at the moment.
“We are all supporting each other and we are all doing our best and we are moving in the right direction.”
The couple’s friends and fans all flocked to her post to send their love and best wishes.
