Ashley Cain's daughter Azaylia can't keep eyes open as kidneys struggle to drain fluid

Ashley Cain's baby daughter Azaylia is having trouble keeping her eyes open as a result of her terminal leukaemia.

Ashley's girlfriend Safiyya, who has been documenting her baby daughter's incredible fight on social media, revealed the latest devastating news.

Eight-month-old Azaylia is struggling with her vision as a result of the swelling in her face as her kidneys are not draining fluid away properly.

On Saturday, brave Azaylia had a cold compress remedy to try and soothe her eyes.

In a video clip, Safiyya said: "I've woken Azaylia up with a nice little cold compression, and she's having a little spa, aren't you, baby?"

She wrote: "Nice cold compression to cool Azaylia's eyes as her kidneys are finding it difficult to drain the fluid. I hope this feels nice for you, baby."

On Friday Safiyya explained: "Azaylia's got really, really swollen eyes today and we've been told by our community nurses to put some cold compresses on them and get them down again so she can open her eyes, bless her.

"She's really, really struggling today."

Azaylia has had to be put on oxygen at home after being rushed to hospital again.

Reality star Ashley has been overwhelmed by the support he and his family have had from fans, and friends.

He said: "I just wanted to say, I'm overwhelmed and grateful for all of the love and support and tributes that are going out for my daughter - it's absolutely incredible.

"Truthfully though, I can't really put into words how I'm feeling - I'm scared, I'm worried, I'm nervous, I'm anxious, all of the time.

"But I'm getting my strength from being the best me I can be for my daughter right now and currently she's still here, she's still breathing, and she's still in the game."

He signed off: "Let's go champ, thank you guys."
