Lisa took to social media to reveal her daughter was hospitalised on November 17. She wrote: "When I became a first-time mum I always had a fear of RSV and Bronchiolitis.
"I was very conscious of the environment Milo was ever in or around, but also as a first-time mum, you sometimes can’t help but have the feeling that you’re overreacting or being over paranoid whether you just battle that internal voice or you’re made to feel that way by others.
"I know I chose to avoid situations as much as I could that I wasn’t comfortable having Milo around, instead of just being upfront and saying the real reason! I don’t want to have my child around people who 'just have a sniffle or head cold' or who are 'over the worst of it' because it definitely won't be that way for a baby.
"Milo was one of the lucky ones who didn’t catch RSV. But sometimes no matter how hard you try, it unfortunately just happens and that’s the case for poor Hallie. She’s had the toughest and most heartbreaking few days in hospital. I can’t describe how horrendous it has been to watch her so weak and in so much pain and being unable to take that pain away."
On Monday night, Lisa had some good news to share with her fans as she revealed Hallie is home and feeling much better.
The Scottish singer said: "We are so grateful to have Hallie home and well again after a very long and scary 10 days in hospital. Her big brother missed her so much.
"We can't thank all of you enough for your kind messages & prayers over the last couple of weeks.
"We are also incredibly grateful to all of the nurses & doctors in The SWAH who couldn’t have cared for Hallie any better the whole time, they are all amazing and we’re so thankful to each of them.
"Lots of quality family time now is what life will consist of for a while."
The update comes after Lisa postponed a concert on Saturday night for the sake of her daughter.
She said: "After what has been a truly traumatic and extremely worrying time for my family over the last couple of weeks, and as it stands, still being unsure on when Hallie will be well enough to get home from the hospital, we, unfortunately, will have to reschedule our show in the Ulster Hall on 30th November.
"As disappointed as I am to do this, right now I have to put my baby, her wellbeing, and my family first."
