A young tot faces a battle with leukaemia for the third time in his life – at just two years old.
The devastated parents of little Kai Laidlaw were given the heartbreaking news at the weekend, just months after he was given an experimental transplant they hoped would save his life.
Less than 48 hours after receiving the news, brave Kai was back in the operating theatre, and mum Pamela Neilson was told the disease was “more aggressive than ever before”.
Kai has spent the last four months at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children in Glasgow, where his mum has remained at his bedside.
Announcing the news on his Facebook page, his parents wrote: “This is not an easy status to write and it is not a happy sparkly one.
“My leukaemia has returned and it is even more aggressive than before.
“To say we are heart broken does not come close but I am still smiling and playing in fact to look at me you would think there was nothing wrong.
“However lots going on underneath and Mr Leukaemia is taking over my body for the third time and I am not even 3 years old.
“Some of the best doctors in the world are putting there heads together but the outcome is not good but as Daddy says where there is life there is hope!”
