Ashley is currently enjoying time with his daughter after doctors said she could return to the family home for a short time before her long-term stay in hospital.  

Posting a video with 15-week old Azaylia while relaxing on a bed, he began: ‘Just letting you know Azaylia has had the chance to come home for a few days. 

‘She’s doing amazing with the treatment but obviously she’s still really poorly but we were given the great opportunity to come home for a few days as a family before she heads back in on Monday for her second round of chemotherapy, before we try and go in for this bone marrow and transplant, hoping and praying we find a donor

‘This is amazing, being home with our little baby girl is phenomenal and we just really appreciate the chance before we go in.

‘We’re going to go back in for months and months, and months on end, so this moment is really priceless and we’re really enjoying it aren’t we? Yea, we are! ‘

Ashley also shared a snap while with Azaylia, and said his little one has been ‘extremely poorly’ recently but could come home as they’ll have to remain in hospital over the next few months, including over Christmas.

In the snap, Ashley could be seen trying to cheer up Azaylia by putting on a puppet show with a rabbit doll.

Explaining their situation again, Ashley told fans: ‘WE ARE HOME FOR A FEW DAYS. Azaylia has completed her first block of chemotherapy and regeneration period and the oncologists have allowed us to return home for a few days as a family

‘Despite Azaylia being extremely poorly, the oncology department recommended we return home to get some well deserved home comforts and boost moral before she returns and goes into her 2nd block of chemotherapy 

‘This time at home was so important for us because once we return to hospital, we wont be leaving for months on end, as once we’ve found a donor for Azaylia (God Willing ) she will undergo her bone marrow transplant period directly after her 2nd block of chemotherapy.

‘This means we will be in hospital during Christmas and the foreseeable months afterwards.’

Thanking fans for their support, he went on: ‘Please continue your prayers and please continue registering as a donor. Because, you could be the one who saves my daughters life.

‘Thank you for your continued support, we really appreciate you and gain warmth from you all! We are still positive, we still believe and we WILL get through this!’

Earlier this month, Ashley was left in tears as he revealed his daughter Azaylia is in urgent need of a bone marrow transplant and blood donation amid her battle with leukaemia.

Sharing an update from Azaylia’s hospital room via Instagram, he teared up as he said the news had ‘broken [his] heart’.

Ashley explained to fans: ‘I was having a great morning with my little one then the doctors came in and said that no matter how well she does with these blocks of chemotherapy, she’s on the high risk list so she’ll 100 per cent need a bone marrow transplant.

‘And due to her ethnicity, Caribbean, Burmese, Indian, English, it’s very difficult to find a match for a transplant. 

‘Even if she does find a transplant, she’s so small and because her case is so bad it’s a very, very long, gruelling, and intense procedure and we could be here for a very, very long time – and that’s if she manages to fight it and withstand it.’

Growing emotional, he continued: ‘It’s sad, it feels like we are back to the start – it’s broken my heart, it’s broken my heart again.

‘It’s difficult, it’s so difficult. As long as she has a fighting chance we are going to fight and this little warrior, she can do it.’

Asking for his fans support during the difficult time, he went on: ‘Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers and please keep sending us positive energy because we are feeding off it.’

In the caption for the video, Ashley explained that the bone marrow transplant would be a ‘very long and gruelling process’ as it consisted of ‘intense chemotherapy, stem cell treatments, transfusions etc.’

While he admitted it was a ‘crushing blow’, Ashley told fans that they were ‘keeping things positive and as long as she’s got a fighting chance… WE WILL FIGHT!’ 

The day before, Ashley informed fans he was working with the UK’s main blood cell and bone marrow donation charity to set up a campaign for Azaylia.
