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.

@blindspots I will sign and share that petition. Very very sorry to read you have experienced this gut reaching heart ache, this story must be very triggering for you. You're absolutely amazing to have gone through this, such a short amount of time ago, and yet still be finding ways and strength, to help others and create awareness for other families. X

@blindspots thanks for sharing again to the new posters. I’ve posted it daily on my SM and was encouraged by the recent update of over 3,000 signatures. Thank you again for bringing it to all of our attention.

You are so right about feeling guilty because you know it’s not you who is truly suffering but her parents. @MrsDSalvatore that such a good idea, I hadn’t even thought of setting up a monthly donation, I will get that sorted this evening.

@blindspots thank you for posting the link to the petition. I’m so sorry for everything you and your son have been through

I’m going to set up a monthly donation to a children’s cancer charity too.

I don’t know how her parents are managing, I really don’t. They are so lovely in the Instagram stories with her, playing in her Minnie Mouse jumper They are playing lots of music and dancing with her. They are absolutely amazing and the fact that she is still smiling at them and playing when she is so ill is a testament to what brilliant parents they are.

The poor mite does look visibly very ill now, she looks exhausted and her breathing is laboured, hopefully it’s mostly because of the painkillers she’ll be on. If that was my child I’d be absolutely catatonic watching it.

[quote MrsDSalvatore]@LetsGoChamp I hope you had a nice day with your family.

@Eastereggfan same here, I haven't been as affected by someone I don't know as much as this story has a
affected me.
@TokenGinger I also feel guilty for feeling as upset as I have when I'm not the one going through it but I think it just shows the impact she has had on us all aswel as so many others. Being a mum, I feel like I can't help but put myself in their shoes of how painful it must be and I'm sure others feel the same too.

Am I the only one whose mind races when they dont post any updates. I know they are probably just spending time with Azaylia but I cant help but fear the worst[/quote]
I'm exactly the same. My heart is in my mouth today after no updates. I really hope the worst hasn't happened 😭

I’m another one constantly checking for updates. I felt awful for it because I felt like I was snooping into something so personal and making it about me by being so invested. I then reminded myself though that they are clearly sharing their journey for a reason, they want their precious little girl to make an impact on the world and live on in people’s hearts.

I've switched notifications on for their posts to stop myself from obsessively checking but today I just keep checking and checking and hoping I've missed something. I so hope that Ashley and Safiyya are enjoying her too much to post and that the worst hasn't happened. Although you can tell she's very ill now she still has so much fight and life left in her.

Anyone who has had a child or anyone with empathy will of course be upset at any child being so gravely ill.
Hope something can be done..
Or if not, that she can live out her days in the love of a home situation 😞

Safiyya has updated her stories, they're in the hospital having another transfusion. I feel like I can breathe a sigh of relief now but it's hard to see how utterly crushed Ashley looks after how positive and upbeat he's remained until this last hurdle.
I'm honestly starting to wish I could just switch off from this but at the same time feel honoured to have witnessed Azaylia's strength and beauty throughout.

I’m also in complete admiration of how her parents seem to be keeping it together for her sake although I suspect it will hit them very hard after she is gone. It’s a very very sad case.

Oh god it must just be horrendous to watch her deteriorate right before their eyes like she is. To see her slowly lose herself is awful, she is as blessed as her parents to have them both there to love her so hard

Ashley's sister posted a picture today, Azaylia is still strong and enjoying a day cuddling with her Mum. What an incredibly brave little girl. I have an 11mo and I can't stop crying for them, for everything they will miss, for everything she deserves to experience. It's so true that none of us is promised a tomorrow, and now is the only moment that matters. But Azaylia fought so bravely, it is so very hard to accept this outcome

I’ve just seen Safiyyas Instagram, apparently there was blood in her tears so she’s had another transfusion. This is so so sad the world is so evil sometimes, I fucking hate cancer

I’ve just seen Safiyya’s update. You’ve got to question how there could be a God or any sort of higher power to put a baby through this. Or any innocent child. How they can keep going each day is beyond me.

Ashley mentioned the other day the leukaemia means her blood isn’t clotting and that she likely has internal bleeding, they are going for the platelet transfusions because they don’t want her to go like that

It’s so, so awful.

Just came searching for a thread on Beautiful Azaylia, my DD has the same DOB and I'm an emotional wreck, this world is so cruel.

How can an 8 month old baby suffer so much the poor darling has blood in her tears?! How can this possibly be. It is so, so cruel and I have no idea how Ashley and Saff are going to put one foot in front of the other once she has passed. It is traumatic. I’m sad and angry and helpless. WHY can we not fix this, just why...

There is no God. If there was, and he allowed this to happen to such a beautiful, innocent baby then he is an evil cunt who I wouldn’t want to know. The poor family, my heart aches for them.

Agreed, whatever god is up there putting innocent helpless babies/children/people through this they’re vile.

I don’t know how they’re gonna cope, I wouldn’t even want to survive I know that, if this happened to my baby then the world could take me with them. Not only is it horrific the fact she didn’t even get a year on this earth but the way they’re watching her deteriorate is just another level. Poor poor little family.

Have a lump in my throat reading Ashley’s note about time passing too fast.....I hope they know what an impact their little lion is making and the love everyone is sending them

I don’t think I have ever been so worried and concerned for two people I don’t know. I keep thinking of how much they are going to hit the floor once she is gone and it makes me want to cry and never stop.

I hope they are surrounded by so much love and support. I hope they somehow find a way through this and I hope more than anything that one day they see the light in life again.

Ashley had posted an update about a 7pm doorstep clap that some people have arranged. He’s asked for us to all video it and send it into
[email protected] so they can keep it as a memory to hold on to x

Just seen the video about the arranged clap. Poor little Azaylia looks so so poorly 💔 I'm in work but I'll definitely be running outside at 7 to join in

I try to avoid their posts as it’s so upsetting but I still end up looking, hoping for good news everyday. I feel grateful that she is surrounded by love and doesn’t know a life without love. I really don’t know how they have the strength but as a parent you do whatever you can for your child, and she pulls through everyday to make more memories. Everyday is so precious I wish for a miracle for them. It find it most sad that she is doing all the normal baby things, the same as my baby does, like playing with Ashley’s face today, eating her strawberries, just being a happy baby despite her pain. It’s just like she is growing just like a baby should but being taken away so cruelly 😭😭😭. WHY do such evil things happen

Aw bless her, 8 month old and getting a nationwide clap! Brave little pudding she is 🦁
She looks so so poorly now, this is so cruel
