<\/p>\nSHE'S considered the matriarch of the Radford Family. <\/p>\n
But mum-of-22 Sue Radford took a back seat on a recent Christmas shopping trip, as her own mum led the way. <\/p>\n
\n
\n
\n<\/p>\n
Sue's mum is rarely seen on the family's reality show, or their YouTube videos, but made an appearance on their latest clip as they hit a local nursery to stock up on Christmas decorations. <\/p>\n
Aimee joined Sue and her mum for the nursery outing, as they asked her to guess the price of the Jellycat Christmas toys.<\/p>\n
Sue's mum got the price completely wrong, as Aimee and Sue giggled at her overestimation. <\/p>\n
The family group also grabbed some lunch together, while Ophelia and Heidie got super excited about a huge Father Christmas statue. <\/p>\n
Sue and Noel had been looking after Ophelia while their daughter Millie was with her poorly daughter in hospital. <\/p>\n "She'd had a bit of a cold for a few days," Sue explained in the video. <\/p>\n "Millie took her to the doctors, the doctor said she was fine. <\/p>\n "Anyway, Millie rung 111 on Friday and they said to take her to A&E, so she did that.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n "They tested her for Covid and RSV – Covid came back negative but RSV came back positive, so she's got RSV."<\/p>\n Sue also went on to reveal just how serious baby Elodie's illness had been, as she said: "So she's been on a feeding tube and oxygen because she just couldn't manage to taking the bottle so they had to put a feeding tube in.<\/p>\n "And she's been on oxygen. They tried to take her off it yesterday and she only lasted about an hour before she need to go back on it.<\/p>\n "But this morning Millie's just text me to say that they feeding tube's gone and the oxygen's gone and she's just sent me a video of her having a bottle."<\/p>\n Sue also said that she'd taken Ophelia to see Elodie and Millie in hospital, because the little girl had been asking to see her mum, and Millie needed some bits. <\/p>\n However, later in the video, Sue revealed: "Little Elodie came out of hospital just before dinner time today and has gone home. <\/p>\n "And Ophelia has gone home. <\/p>\n "The house is quiet isn't it!<\/p>\n "I think Heidie is missing her little bestie."<\/p>\n Elsewhere in the video, Sue spoke about her daughter getting her ears pierced, and also revealed she's been having her own health struggle. <\/p>\n She was trying to get to something in the suitcase of summer clothes on top of her girls' wardrobes when she slipped, and twisted her elbow. <\/p>\n "I knew I'd done something to it when I did it," she said. <\/p>\n "But it's not been too bad. I thought I'd just sprained it. But over the last few weeks it's got progressively worse. <\/p>\n "Last night I was cleaning the kitchen and it was so painful.<\/p>\n "I think I might have to go and get it checked out – it's right in the elbow joint."<\/p>\n The video concluded with the family putting up the first of their many Christmas trees – a pink and glittery one in the dining room. <\/p>\n There was also a festive candle display on the dining table, using a candle holder that Sue bought from a previous nursery. <\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/as-fab-sue-radford-christmas.jpg\")
