The child patient suffering from brain cancer, Ashya King has been reunited with his parents at the Materno-Infantil Hospital in Malaga, southern Spain on Wednesday.

The parents Brett King, 51, and Naghemeh King, 46, were detained in Spain on Monday for their extradition hearing in Madrid court after they took out their five-years-old child from a Southampton hospital on Thursday without doctor’s consent. However, they were released on Tuesday after U.K. prosecutors withdrew a European arrest warrant.

But officials warned the desperate parents must wait for a custody ruling to know whether they can take the ill child away from the hospital to seek the alternative treatment they wanted for his brain tumour.

An official at the children’s hospital in the southern Spanish city of Malaga has said: “They were able to see him without any problem. It was very emotional.”

Mr King has told after leaving the hospital with his lawyers: “He was so pleased to see us, when he saw us he couldn’t breathe. He couldn’t believe it.

“He’s actually not in such a good state as when we left him. He doesn’t move so much.

“He’s been without his parents so long that he’s gone depressed.”

The father of child has also told that the whole family would stay with Ashya in Malaga as long as the whole custody process lasts.

Ashya’s brother Daniel King has confirmed that Ashya will travel to Prague to receive the special treatment in Proton Therapy Centre (PTC).

A consultant paediatric oncologist at the British hospital, Gary Nicolin had sent to Ashya’s complete medical reports to Prague centre. The centre said proton therapy would be a suitable method of for treating Ashya, but he is first required to go back to England to undergo two cycles of chemotherapy.

The head of proton therapy at the centre, Jiri Kubes has told: “Ashya shall go for proton therapy to the Czech Republic.”
