Katie Price and Peter Andre have bonded at the bedside of their sick son.

The recently-divorced couple put their differences behind them to hold vigil for seven-year-old Harvey – the glamour model’s son from a previous relationship - who was rushed to the hospital with breathing difficulties on Wednesday (04.11.09) and pals believe their meeting could trigger the end of tensions between the pair.

Katie is quoted by Britain’s Daily Star newspaper as saying: “This has brought everything back to reality and put all the petty fighting into perspective.”

Friends of Peter also believe relations will now improve between him and his former spouse, with who he has son Junior, four, and daughter Princess Tiaamii, two.

A source said: “When it comes to his children nothing would stop him and although Harvey is not biologically his son, he is in every other way. This meeting certainly thawed the ice.”

Doctors have ruled out potentially-fatal swine flu in the youngster, but there are fears over his condition because of his other medical problems, including septo-optic dysplasia and autism and Harvey is expected to stay in hospital for at least 48 hours.

A spokesperson for Katie said: “Harvey woke up on Wednesday with a very high temperature and flu-like symptoms so he was taken to hospital, as he always would be with such symptoms because of his disabilities.

“Doctors decided to keep him in hospital overnight for observation as a precautionary measure because of his underlying health problems.

“Katie was in touch with Peter from the moment it was decided to take Harvey to hospital and Peter visited Harvey in hospital.

“Katie also informed Harvey's biological father Dwight Yorke of the situation.”
