After rounds and rounds of harrowing treatment, Bailey knew he was going to pass away. He started making plans for his own funeral and wanted everyone dressed up in superhero costumes.
But there was one thing he could not leave behind - his unborn sister Millie.
Bailey's mother said: “Doctors said he was going to go before Millie was born. He didn’t. He fought, and on the way to hospital, he said we should call her Millie.'

“We didn’t think he would last that long, but he was determined to meet Millie. It got to the end of November, and Millie was born.
