Back in 2023 Myles reveled that son Siloh had suffered a stroke that left damage to his brain irreversible . 

He said  how he noticed the little one’s right hand was constantly in a fist at just six months old, while they later spotted he was dragging his right foot while walking.

At the recommendation of family, they took him to the doctor for a check-up and he was later diagnosed with hemiplegic cerebral palsy having suffered a previously unnoticed stroke, with the damage to his brain irreversible.

Sharing a picture of himself with Shiloh at the hospital, Myles wrote on Instagram: ‘Stroke awareness. The hardest part about being parents is the things that are out of your control. When Shiloh was around 6 months old we noticed he wasn’t using his right hand & it was constantly in a fist.

‘As first time parents we didn’t think much of it especially because at his developmental checks we mentioned him seeming very left handed & this didn’t seem of concern. 

‘He was pulling himself up to stand at about 12 months & it took him a further 6 months to take his first steps. 

‘When he started walking, we noticed he was dragging his right foot & family members recommended getting a GP appointment to make sure everything was okay. What unfolded we was not prepared for. 

‘Multiple appointments & eventually a MRI scan would later show that he had damage on the left side of his brain which had effected his right sided limbs.

‘We was told Shiloh had a stroke sometime before, during or shortly after birth. Hearing the words hemiplegic cerebral palsy brought on a rush of anger, confusion & sadness.

‘It wasn’t being told that your son won’t be the next Messi or Ronaldo that hurt. It was the thought that doing his laces, spinning spaghetti on a spoon or playing certain games with friends might be a challenge for him. The small things. 

‘But… ShiShi doesn’t know any different, he figures out how to do things in his own way and although the brain damage can’t be reversed we are doing everything possible to help strengthen the right side of his body!  

‘Shiloh has made so much progress & we are so proud of him taking on challenges he doesn’t even know are there! 

‘Day by day we learn more & this is still very new but we are doing what we can. 

‘We share this in the hope that it will raise awareness for any other first time parents who notice something a little different in their baby as the sooner you can find out the better it will be in the long run. 

Back in 2023 Myles reveled that son Siloh had suffered a stroke that left damage to his brain irreversible  

‘If there is parents or people with Hemiplegia reading this, Please message privately or in the comments of any experiences that have helped you and/or your loved one. ❤️ Thank you to our F & F who have support Shi & to the health professionals for helping us learn and understand more about how to help Shiloh.’

Myles said Shiloh was diagnosed with hemiplegic cerebral palsy, with the main symptoms of cerebral palsy bring problems with movement, co-ordination and development.

Problem signs in a child include delays in reaching development milestones such as not sitting by eight months or not walking by 18 months, seeming too stiff or too floppy, fidgety, jerky or clumsy movements, weak arms or legs, muscle spasms, uncontrolled movements, shaking hands and walking on tiptoes.

Hemiplegia means one side of the body is affected while monoplegia is where one limb is affected, diplegia is where two limbs are affected, and quadriplegia is where all four limbs, and usually the whole body, are affected.

What is a Febrile Seizure?  

A febrile seizure (febrile convulsion or fit) can sometimes happen when a child has a high temperature. It’s not usually serious, but it’s important to get medical help if your child has a seizure.

Your child may: 

Become stiff and twitch, shake, or have jerking movements 

Become unconscious not respond or look at you when you talk to them be sick or pee (wet themselves) 

Be sleepy, irritable or confused for up to 1 hour afterwards
