Earlier in the day, Ashley revealed Azaylia had been rushed back to hospital after she began crying blood and in urgent need of a transfusion.
Taking to Instagram, her mum Safiyya shared a video from within the hospital during which Ashley, 30, cradled the eight-month-old while she slept.
Proving herself to be incredibly strong, Safiyya said to the camera: ‘We’ve just gone back into hospital to get Azaylia another platelet transfusion because last night the tears started having blood in them, so we needed more platelets’.
She also shared an image of Azaylia’s leg with a deep purple bruise as a result of the disruption of the body’s platelet production, which causes bleeding under the skin.
Heartache: Earlier in the day, Ashley revealed Azaylia had been rushed back to hospital after she began crying blood and in urgent need of a transfusion
People with leukaemia are more likely to bruise due to the fact their bodies don’t create enough platelets to plug bleeding blood vessels.
Leukaemia bruises look like any other kind of bruise, but there are usually more of them than normal. Additionally, they may show up on unusual areas of the body.
Ashley cradled Azaylia in the heartbreaking clip, while they stood in the brightly-coloured hospital room and Safiyya held the camera and spoke.

In the same video in which she discussed her tattoo, Safiyya branded her daughter’s pain ‘torture’ to look upon and then posted a video while singing Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston’s 1998 hit When You Believe.
On her tattoo, she said: ‘We did more castings yesterday to get some necklaces and some hand prints and foot prints…
‘I started stressing in case I dropped it but the lady was so good and gave me a print that I can get as a tattoo so she’ll always be with me and so close. So I decided to get the prints done and a tattoo of her hands and feet.’
On their trip to hospital and her transfusion the previous day, she said: ‘Azaylia was experiencing loads of nosebleeds due to the platelets in the body not being able to clot the blood so we went to hospital…

‘The NHS and the service they provide is amazing. Every morning I wake up is a blessing and I just feel so lucky to hold her there and for her to smile and to sing to and all our Jungle Book themed tunes…
‘The amount of times we sing you wouldn’t even know. You don’t know how much I love her and it’s absolutely heartbreaking and this feels like torture it’s so hard and the support you’ve given us is amazing…

He later revealed that Azaylia can no longer fly to Singapore for treatment after discovering the tumours, and vowed to make her final days ‘as fun as they can’.
Ashley penned a detailed account of Azaylia’s health battle on his GoFundMe page and said that any extra funds the couple receive will be donated to other families in a similar situation to them.
According to the NHS, it is a ‘highly complex and potentially risky treatment’ but has been shown in trials to cure some patients when other treatments have failed.

In the video, the doting dad was seen gently splashing the water around Azaylia as she looked up at her dad adoringly while sitting in a small tub on the hospital ward.
Captioning the footage, he wrote: Azaylia’s last bath in hospital, before we take her home where she belongs. ❤️
‘9 days ago consultants told us my daughter had 1-2 days to live, but thought she may pass that evening. Even with a barbaric disease consuming her blood, tumours in her brain and organs and amounts of pain I cannot imagine…
‘She is still battling through 9 days later, with parts of the day with nothing but smiles despite her discomfort.
‘This is a testament of this little girls strength and the fight she has possessed all of the way through. She has fought a battle that not many, if any, of us could have endured and she’s earned the love and respect of many on the way…
Her love: Over the weekend, Safiyya shared a heartwarming video showing the family eating together, with Azaylia tucking into strawberries while her parents looked on
‘The truth is though, I hope and pray that I have earned hers! Even through the hardest and saddest time of my life, she has found a way to make it better…
‘She has shined light on the darkest of days and she has opened my heart to amounts of love I couldn’t believe possible!…
‘The truth is, I don’t know what I will do without you. But for now, I find strength in giving you the best of me, and the only me that you deserve!…
‘You are in my arms, my thoughts, my prayers and my heart everyday my princess. YOU’RE MY HERO! ✊ DADDY LOVES YOU!’
