X Factor Winner Myles Stephenson Rushed to Hospital After Devastating Sports Injury!

by

Myles Stephenson, who won “X Factor,” disclosed that he’s been hurt quite severely, requiring him to stay off his feet for several months ahead.

33-year-old musician, renowned for triumphing in the ITV competition of 2017 with the band RAK-SU, recently posted an Instagram picture from the hospital revealing his foot and leg swathed in bandages after a sport-related accident that was quite painful.

Myles verified his injury, which turned out to be a rupture in his Achilles tendon, sustained during a football match.

‘Only gone and ruptured my Achilles haven’t I?’ he told fans.

As the lengthy healing process sets in for Myles, he began to understand the true implications – day-to-day tasks would now require extra effort while using crutches.

He mentioned that he’s come to understand that the upcoming months will be quite challenging for him, needing crutches. Between work, family commitments, and even daily tasks such as cleaning or laundry, he isn’t exactly excited about it.

Now, Myles has taken an active role as father to his two little ones, Shiloh (aged 3) and Sahara (2), who are shared with his spouse, Keli Hall.

The injury might bring some extra difficulties for the family, particularly considering their son Shiloh has additional requirements.

After it was disclosed by Myles in January that his daughter, Sahara, had been admitted to the hospital due to a frightening febrile seizure.

He shared a photo on his Instagram Stories, which depicted a two-year-old child in the Emergency Room (A&E) following an incident where she had stopped breathing and turned blue.

Myles said the incident was the ‘scariest thing he’d ever seen’.

In my own words, here’s how I might rephrase that: “Yesterday evening, this tiny princess of mine suffered a seizure and stopped breathing, turning a terrifying shade of blue! It was the single most frightening moment I’ve ever experienced!

Her fever reached a peak triggering a febrile seizure. Parents with little ones, I recommend looking into febrile seizures for a better understanding.

Adding this information won’t just benefit your child, but it will be useful for you too, should the situation arise – particularly during flu seasons.

Back in 2023, Myles spoke out on the heartbreaking discovery his son Shiloh suffered a stroke.

At the time, he shared on Instagram that he observed Shiloh keeping his right hand clenched into a fist as early as six months old. Later, it was noticed that he was dragging his right foot when walking.

Based on their family’s advice, they subsequently brought him to the physician for an examination. Later on, he was officially diagnosed with hemiplegic cerebral palsy, which was due to a stroke that had gone previously undetected. Regrettably, the damage to his brain was found to be irreversible.

Posting a photo of us at the hospital on Instagram, Myles mentioned: “Highlighting stroke awareness. The toughest aspect of parenthood is dealing with circumstances beyond our reach.

At approximately six months, we observed that Shiloh didn’t seem to use his right hand regularly and kept it clenched in a fist-like position.

Initially, as new parents, we paid little attention to the matter since our son appeared to be strongly left-handed during developmental assessments. This aspect didn’t raise any red flags for us.

At around 12 months old, he began to climb himself up to stand, and then needed an additional six months before he could walk on his own for the first time.

As soon as he began to walk, we observed him limping with his right foot, prompting us to arrange a consultation with the general practitioner, advised by family members, to ensure everything was in order. However, what followed was far from what we had anticipated.

As an ardent admirer, I’ve got to share some intriguing insights about my beloved subject. Over time, numerous meetings and ultimately an MRI examination uncovered some fascinating findings: there was harm on the left side of his brain, which in turn impacted his right-sided limbs. Quite a revelation, isn’t it?

It was informed that Shiloh suffered a stroke prior, during, or immediately following birth. Upon learning about hemiplegic cerebral palsy, feelings of anger, bewilderment, and sorrow overwhelmed us.

What stung wasn’t just the fact that he wouldn’t become the next Messi or Ronaldo as predicted, but rather the realization that everyday tasks like tying his shoes, twirling spaghetti on a spoon, or participating in certain games with friends might be difficult for him. It was the small, seemingly insignificant aspects that caused the pain.

However, ShiShi isn’t aware of anything else; he finds his own methods to accomplish tasks. Despite the fact that we can’t undo the brain damage, we’re making every effort to bolster the strength in the right side of his body!

Shiloh has truly come a long way, and we couldn’t be prouder as he steps up to face challenges that he may not even realize are present!

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

We’re passing this along, hoping it may alert other new parents who observe anything unusual in their infant. Early detection can greatly improve the outcome in the future.

Hey there! As a dedicated fan, I’m reaching out with a heartfelt plea. If you’re a parent or someone living with Hemiplegia, I’d love to hear from you! If you have any experiences that have made a difference in your life or the life of your loved one, please don’t hesitate to share them either privately or in the comments below. 💗

I want to express my gratitude to our wonderful community for supporting Shi, and to the health professionals who tirelessly work to educate us on how best to help those like Shiloh. Your knowledge and dedication truly make a difference! 🙏🏻

Myles mentioned that Shiloh received a diagnosis of hemiplegic cerebral palsy, characterized primarily by difficulties in mobility, coordination, and growth or development.

Warning signs in a child may involve missing key developmental milestones, such as failing to sit by eight months or not walking by 18 months. Additionally, the child might exhibit unusual body stiffness or excessive flexibility, along with restless, jerky, or clumsy movements. Weakness in arms and legs, muscle spasms, involuntary movements, tremors in hands, and a tendency to walk on tiptoes could also be indicative of potential issues.

Hemiplegia refers to a condition where only one side of the body is impaired; Monoplegia is characterized by the impact on just one limb; Diplegia involves the disability of two limbs, typically both in the same area; Quadriplegia encompasses a state where all four limbs, along with usually the entire body, are affected.
