Britney Spears rushed her two-year-old son to hospital after he suffered a suspected seizure during a family trip to her hometown.Jayden James was raced to the emergency ward after lapsing into a 'vague and unresponsive' state.
The toddler fell ill yesterday afternoon at the family home in Kentwood, Louisiana.
The entire Spears clan made the 25-mile dash to Southwest Mississippi Regional Medical Centre, Mississippi.
Doctors were unable to pinpoint the problem straight away and kept the toddler in for overnight observation.
Distraught Britney, 26, refused to leave his side and asked for a bed next to him in the ward.
Her ex-husband, rapper Kevin Federline, is now believed to be making plans to jet out of Los Angeles to be at Jayden's bedside.
It's the first time Britney has been allowed to leave California with sons Sean Preston, 3, and Jayden since their dad K-Fed was given full custody in July.
She flew them into Louisiana on a private jet with her dad Jamie on Friday, the morning after her surprise appearance onstage with Madonna in Los Angeles.
The special week-long visit was to steal some family time ahead of Britney's forthcoming promotional tour of her new album 'Circus'.
She was also anxious to be reunited with her little sister Jamie-Lynn, 17, who recently gave birth to daughter Maddie-Briann.
Sources say chaos erupted when Jayden suffered a suspected seizure out of the blue, at about 3pm yesterday.
'One minute Britney and her sons were relaxing and enjoying their first visit to Kentwood in months, and the next minute Jayden had fallen ill,' said a source.
'He was vague and unresponsive so Britney dialled an ambulance. But she was told it would take half an hour to arrive, and she was best trying to get Jayden to the hospital herself.'
Minutes later, two cars tore out of the Spears' 'Serenity' residence.
The first, a Lincoln Navigator, carried Britney, her mum Lynne and dad Jamie as well as the poorly toddler. A Range Rover driven by Jamie-Lynn also carried their brother Brian.
When the convoy reached the motorway, Jamie-Lynn reportedly thwarted following photographers by refusing to let them pass.
She drove slowly alongside another vehicle to keep them back while her sister accelerated away.
When snappers arrived at the hospital, which is now being manned by police, Britney and her son had already dashed inside.
'Jayden James had to be kept in hospital overnight for observations,' said the source. 'We don't yet know what's wrong with him.
'Britney was insistent that wouldn't leave him. She asked for a bed to be made up in the same room so she could be there at his side.'
