The star - who shares Rocky with husband of 14 years Freddie Prinze Jnr - captioned that she had been worried about him after he struggled to breathe.
She wrote: 'Well I made it 7 years before I had to take one of my children to the ER (I think that's a pretty good stretch). It was a long night and apparently a nasty virus, but thankfully Rocky was released.
'I'm not going to lie, watching your child not be able to breathe, is the most helpless I have ever felt. Thank you to all the great doctors and nurses (and staff) who work tirelessly 24 hours a day to help.
'And thank you to his big sister, Charlotte who would not leave his side. (The best moment was when I was filling out his paperwork, and I was asked if Rocky was single- laughter is definitely a great medicine).'

The I Know What You Did Last Summer stay kept her tot entertained with the help of an iPhone.
She shared a picture of him tucked up in an hospital bed, captioned: 'Thank goodness for #iphones and #inspectorgadget when your little one is sick in the ER.'
