Gary Ablett Jr and wife Jordan reveal their ill son Levi's heartbreaking medical diagnosis for the first time


Gary Ablett Jr and his wife Jordan have opened up for the first time about the rare degenerative disorder which their six-year-old son Levi is currently dying of.

The AFL WAG, 33, has kept her son's medical diagnosis under wraps until now as she learns to 'process' his heartbreaking condition, but has revealed in the upcoming VWeekend on Saturday she is ready to talk about it. There is currently no complete cure for the disorder, but patients who are treated with parenteral copper histidinate (CuHis) can increase survival and lessen the neurological symptoms if initiated early.
