Azaylia Cain

[LetsGoChamp]

I can’t stop thinking about this poor little girl. My heart hurts for her family. I know she’s not the only child fighting a life threatening illness but she’s all I’ve thought about today.

Sorry if this post upsets anybody that is familiar with this little girl.

Her eyes being swollen shut has really made me sad. Poor little baby

@SelfBuild- I’ve been in absolute bits this afternoon. Her family are doing an amazing job of being so strong. I haven’t wanted to believe she’s poorly but seeing her eyes swollen bless her heart, it’s broken me today x

Niagra falls lit up orange for her!

I have a 10 month old and can really tell how sensitive I’ve become now since whenever I see pics of Azaylia I cry, it’s every day 😢 I donated to her fund, I know it can’t help her now but I just wish there was something they could do so she can live. Finding it so upsetting.

I feel so broken watching Azaylia today. My heart hurts so can’t imagine what her parents are going through. Ashley looks broken. I know there are lots of children going through this but Azaylia has stolen my heart. She’s so incredibly cute and her face and actions are so adorable. It’s not fair that she’s going through this. I wish there was a way she could be saved. I pray whatever happens she is always happy and pain free and I pray lots for her parents to keep having strength.
I am finding it hard to not constantly break down and cry everytime I think of this family suffering like this. I just don’t feel like smiling but then I think if her parents can support her and be strong and smile then I need to learn from them and be strong too. I love you Azaylia you beautiful little pumpkin x

@NicoleKidmanSuperFan- you sound exactly like I am at the moment. She’s the cutest little thing, I just want her to be better 💔

@Kate3150 I find comfort in knowing we share the same emotions right now and even though it’s so tragic maybe Azaylia is bringing humanity into this world and love that we all so desperately need right now. Going to hug my kids now and cherish each moment. I feel strong when I see her parents being strong and when she danced the other day it made me sooo happy. Her parents are inspirational

@NicoleKidmanSuperFan- I’m so glad this thread exists, I feel like I need it at the moment and also take great comfort In knowing I’m not alone in feeling this way.
I just feel on the same rollercoaster as the family, I was elated when they raised the money, to go from that elation to this devastation, I can’t quite believe it.
The family are superheroes 🧡
I just keep wishing, praying, hoping there is someone or something out there that could help her X

Hi everyone,

Thanks for this thread. This story is consuming me. I have a baby the same age who is also a little girl and even though this story has made me more patient and grateful, I can't stop crying. I can't bear the thought of a baby so small who hasn't had a chance yet dying but not only dying, suffering. I don't think I'd cope. Her parents are amazing. She is amazing. It's just so unfair and I'm hating the world at the moment. We have serial killers alive and babies dying. I just can't even deal with that. Azaylia has made me a better person and she's an 8 month old baby. I hope for a miracle even though I can see she's not getting any better. :(

I also am so thankful this thread is here, to just know I'm not the only one feeling so devastated despite not knowing them is comforting. I find it so hard to come to terms with the fact that she was smiling and playing in her bouncer just a few days ago and now she can't even open her eyes, how as a parent do you come to terms with that? She is such a bright light and I just wish she had longer to shine. I truly am sending all my love and strength to her family, I can't even imagine how they're feeling, I don't think I'd be able to put one foot in front of the other. They deserve all the love and support the world has to offer and I hope it will be of some comfort to them

I keep dreading every morning them saying she has gone 💔 she keeps hanging on she's such a tough little dolly. X

@Kate3150 I only caught up with the story once Ashley posted the sad update so didn't see the part where they were raising money. I think I would have been like you and more devastated.
I think as heartrenching as it to see, it's good to raise awareness that children are going through this everyday. People will donate blood more and also it makes us cherish each day with eachother more, especially with our children.
I think as mothers of small children we feel even more connected as we see our own children in Azaylia.
I think if we could we'd all make a big ring of love around this family and come together. We pray this family and their little baby only knows love and peace.

I've never met them but she makes me want to hold her tight but gently next to my heart every time they share a video or photo of her. I've never felt like this before to anyones baby apart from my own. She's left a mark on a lot of people. I have 2 year old and I'm holding him and hugging him more these days and on behalf of Azaylia, I hope she is feeling the love and prayers through my son. Keep strong baby girl, keep going. Your parents love you so much and many people are sending you prayers, love and strength. The parents are amazing and so strong. Thank you for this thread and I thank the parents for raising awareness and also reminding us what love is and what's important in life ❤️

Anyone else waiting for an update this morning? Never prayed so much in my life as I had last night. Let’s go champ! X

I disagree with you @sociallydistained and I think it’s horrible to accuse parents who are watching their 8 month old die before their eyes of being “fame hungry” her terminal illness.

They aren’t on their phones all day every day, we see a few minutes a day.

Stop judging this poor family.

Azaylia is such a little fighter. Human strength and love can be incredible as we are seeing with Azaylia and her parents.

Let’s keep this thread a nice one (ignore the criticism)

@sociallydistained not sure how you arrived at that conclusion.. fame hungry, really???? Ashley has already said there's a lot less playing and much more snuggles and naps now. We see literally the tiniest fraction of their day. Their updates are few and far between now. Someone arranged a plane to paint an A in the sky, they likely took her out for a few mins to show their appreciation for such a touching gesture. The rest of the time is their private time and no one should be judging them whatsoever. I think you've really misjudged this as a place to voice your opinion!

Sending the family all my love and prayers today 🧡

@sociallydistained what a horrible horrible thing to say. They are doing their best and they want their baby to make a difference in the world in her short life, which she is. To criticise and make accusations about two people who are about to lose their baby is absolutely the lowest of the low. I have absolutely no doubt they would sacrifice all the money and fame in the world if it would save their beautiful baby girl.

It's true that we are only seeing a tiny fraction of what is going on, literally a few minutes a day. And considering life for her parents is probably 24hours a day at the moment, I can't imagine they are getting much sleep, it's really not a large amount of time they are putting out to the public.

The support of their amazing family and people from around the world ( she has touched so many lives) is what’s getting them through this time.
Positive vibes only please....
🧡🧡LETS GO CHAMP🧡🧡

I’m really worried about Azaylia today. The last few posts have been heartwarming but terrifying at the same time. She really looks so poorly . I’m just praying that she’s comfortable and aware of her mummy and daddy next to her.
It really doesn’t bear thinking about what they’re going through at the moment.

I agree with @OhWhyNot let’s just ignore the horrible posters as MNHQ are deleting them and I don’t really want a reference to what they’ve said just incase a family member or friend does ever find this thread. We know that we don’t agree with them so no point turning the thread into an argument with those people. Just to touch upon the subject of their fame though, it has done so much good in the world to raise awareness, money and understanding of her illness that while it’s a tough pill to swallow to see such a beautiful baby go through this, they’re doing what some parents, going through the same, probably wish they had the platform for. If they can save one baby/child from going through what Azaylia has then that in itself is a miracle.

I too am worried today. Such a beautiful day and I have so much to be thankful for but she’s always there in my mind, as are her parents. Sending them so much love.

Let’s go champ 🧡

I understand why there is no updates either way but the updates have obviously been getting less as she's becoming more unwell. I have a bad feeling but I'm praying not, although if a miracle won't happen then I don't want this beautiful girl to be in pain either. I know I'm going to cry my eyes out when the time comes be it today or another day. I'm so sad this is happening to children 😢

I too feel worried for them today. God I’m still praying for a miracle for that beautiful little girl xx
