She told fans how he had faced a “scary episode” that left him requiring hospital treatment.
In an update, the actress said: “I cannot believe what an utterly terrifying time it’s been.
“Watching him have two lumber punctures awake was just torture along with the over 15 attempts of cannulas he’s had.
“The helplessness of his cries and not being able to do anything has been heartbreaking.
“I honestly take my hat off to any parent who has a seriously ill child in hospital for a long time.”
Stephanie continued by revealing that Samuel is now out of danger and on the mend.
The mum-of-two said: “I’m so grateful Samuel is ok now.
“I on the other hand am filled with extreme anxiety, can’t sleep checking his every breath and emotionally exhausted.”
A lumbar puncture is a medical practise whereby a thin needle is inserted into the lower back to collect and test cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)- the fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord.
Steph shares Samuel with boyfriend Joe McKalroy, having given birth earlier this year.

Hollyoaks – cast member cull
HOLLYOAKS beauty Chelsee Healey has dropped the biggest hint yet she’s been axed from the soap – yet what’s happening at the Channel 4 show?
Earlier this year, the Channel 4 soap was forced to address the cull of cast members.
It came after The Sun was first to report Hollyoaks bosses plan to kill off a whopping 20 cast members.
Now Chelsee, who recently took time away from her role as Goldie McQueen to give birth to her second daughter, has now made a cryptic move on X.
The Manchester lass, 36, re-posted a picture of her character crying to her page.
It came after Stephanie Waring, famed for her 28-year-long role as Cindy Cunningham, confirmed that soap bosses had axed her as part of the 20-person strong cast cull.
Another big name set to quit for good is popstar turned soap star Jamelia.
The soap’s resident hunk and TV favourite Owen Warner has also left the show amid the cuts with fans left devastated to say goodbye to his character Romeo Nightingale.
Jamie Lomas has also quit the show and will depart his Warren Fox role soon.
Haiesha Mistry famed for her role as Yasmine Maalik has also left after seven years.
