Emma went into more detail about her babies' health in a caption which read: 'Hanging on by a THREAD.
'Both kids have had sick bugs, we have slept for about 7 seconds, my boobs feel like they are about to blow off and just here to say THIS IS HARD and to anyone else in the trenches I am with you.
'It's so tough when your little ones are sick and all you want to do is take their pain away and help them feel 110% again.
'It's hard on both of them, but especially challenging with Levi since he can't express what he's feeling.
'Thankfully, both kids are now back to full health and we're so grateful!!! Now for a big sleep. Good luck and god speed to anyone else in the trenches and I'll see you on the flipside!'
In an update on Sunday morning, Emma shared a clip where she said: 'I just want to thank you for all of the love.
'And also sorry that I didn't put a trigger warning on that pumping noise cos it is a horribly haunting noise.'
