Gary Ablett Jr. plays with his son Levi as toddler continues to battle rate degenerative illness

AFL WAG Jordan Ablett has shared a sweet video of her husband, Geelong Cats star Gary Ablett Jr., teaching their son Levi, three, how to play ring toss.

In the sweet clip shared to her Instagram page, Levi is seen giggling with glee as Gary showed the adorable toddler how to land a ring on a stick.

The three-year-old, who suffers from a mystery degenerative illness that severely impacts his respiratory system and has never spoken a word, was seen laughing as his sat on his grandfather’s knee. 

The trio were enjoying the spring sunshine from the garden of the couple’s home in Victoria.

Jordan has previously revealed that doctors say Levi, who is highly prone to viruses and has low muscle tone, may never speak.

The little boy is also vulnerable to aspirating, whereby food, drink, or stomach contents can make their way into his lungs.

Levi touched the hearts of the nation when he was carried onto the pitch during the AFL grand finale by  Geelong star Joel Selwood.

At the time, Jordan said she ‘couldn’t put into words’ how beautiful a gesture it was.

In an interview with the podcast The Significant Others back in March, Jordan spoke about the family’s heartbreak after Levi was diagnosed with a degenerative illness.

She said it took a long time for Levi to be diagnosed with the unspecified disease, and detailed the devastation she and Gary felt after learning the condition was ‘life threatening’.

‘I just remember sitting with Gaz in that meeting and when they said it I just remember absolutely breaking down,’ she said.

There is a very short life expectancy, which is why I constantly say to people when they ask about Levi that we are literally just taking it day by day because we have no idea what the future holds,’ she continued.

After seeing a series of paediatricians, Jordan said it was the Geelong Football Club’s team doctor who finally put them in contact with the right person.

She said this new paediatrician ‘got the ball rolling’, and after months of concerns, the couple, who married in 2016, finally had some answers.
