"It was our last resort as a family to attempt to save his life and we were so incredibly lucky that it was a success."

She added: "I underwent an 8-hour surgery which left me with my 7-inch scar and a whole new perspective on just how INCREDIBLE my body is."

Fans were loving the post, as it racked up hundreds of likes from Sophie's supporters.

"Such an inspiration," exclaimed one, as another added: "This is lovely to read."

"You inspire me everyday to love my scars and everything that comes with the power of surviving," as third fan told her.

As a fourth added: "Wow! What an incredible story."

Sophie, who boasts 29,600 Instagram followers, uses her platform to promote body confidence and positivity.

She previously showed off her 'real' bikini body back in April as she told her fans 'you don't need to lose weight'.
