Ashley Cain has revealed how his daughter Azaylia had a terrifying turn as she couldn't breathe and suffered seizures.
The reality TV star recalled the scary scenes he and girlfriend Safiyya Vorajee faced on Wednesday night after rushing their daughter back to hospital because of an issue with her nasogastric tube (or NG tube).
After getting confirmation that the tube was working again, the doting dad has now spoken about another scary situation the family faced throughout the night.
Ashley and Safiyya have been regularly updating their followers on Azaylia's condition but he admitted on Thursday that "there's a lot you wouldn't want to see".
In a video on his Instagram Stories, Ashley said: "Just as we were getting back into the car she had a spike in temperature and a seizure, her eyes were rolling, she was hot, she wasn't breathing.
"We had to get her on the oxygen straight away – she settled then when we got home it happened again and we ended up having a nurse from the palliative care team at our house until 1am."
Ashley recorded the message after a 5km run he said helped his mental health. He continued: "It's difficult, man – there's a lot you don't see, there's a lot you wouldn't want to see.
"It's 24 hours a day, seven days a week with no breaks, but it's all worth it because guess what? She woke up again this morning.
"All the hard work we're putting in now, it's worth it in the end to get that little smile, her eyes opening – it's amazing."
Little Azaylia had recently been told that she could have just "days to live" after her rare and aggressive form of leukaemia was no longer treatable.
At the start of his run on Thursday, Ashley said: "It's been months, but the last few days especially I've woken up feeling pain, stress, depression, that's been consuming my mind as well as my body – stopping me from doing the things that were second nature to me, and I don't like it.
"I'm going to get up, get out, and get at it – getting out today in the hope that when I walk back in my house, I'm going to be the best me that I can be for my daughter."
