In memory of our lovely Aillidh

[expatinscotland]

At 11.25 last night, our beautiful, 9-year-old daughter died of complications from treatment for acute myeloid leukaemia, she went into respiratory failure after contracting human metapneumo virus following conditioning chemotherapy for stem cell transplant.

For many days, she lingered on a ventilator. But last night, she developed a pneumothorax and rapidly deteriorated.

She died within seconds of the ventilator being taken off.

I can't believe she's gone, or how broken her long body looked.

So many people have been touched by your little girl and have been praying for her. I hope that you will find some comfort from the thoughts and prayers of us all. I am so sorry for your devastating loss.

So very sorry xxx

I don't know what we as mumsnetters can do now to give you help or support, but whatever you might need that we could help with, please ask, there are so many people on here who are all thinking of you and your family now. I don't know what else to say, other than that she sounded an incredible character, and I am dreadfully sorry that she is no longer with you.

I'm so very sorry for your loss.
My heart, thoughts & prayers are with you & your family.

I am so sorry expat. so fucking sorry. Its impossible to know what to say, but we in the lissie house are thinking of you all and holding you in our hearts.

So Very Special

She was so very, very special
And was so from the start
You held her in your arms
But mainly in your heart
And like a single drop of rain
That on still waters fall,
Her life did ripples make
And touched the lives of all.
She's gone to play with angels
In heaven up above
So keep your special memories
And treasure. them with love
Although your darling daughter
Was with you just a while
She'll live on in your heart
With a sweet remembered smile
much love expat and family xx

Expat, words are hard to find but the impact your beautiful daughter has had is incredible and I hope that in time you will take some comfort from that. She has not only helped swell the numbers on the bone marrow donor register but she has also brought many to prayer and explore their own faith. We may not fully understand the why of what has happened but be assured of the miracle that Aillidh is, was and were worked through her.
Prayers continue for you all.

I'm so, so sorry expat. Love and hugs to you and your family. She was a special girl who touched so many hearts x

I am so, so, sorry expat.

It's funny peculiar how someone you've never met can touch you're heart over the internet.

Dear Expat, - I'm so very sorry for your loss, like many others on here, I am a stranger who was so moved and touched by your daughter's courage and spirit. Bless your family, may you find strength and peace to help you through the days to come, and may little Aillidh sleep tight. xx

So sorry you lost your beautiful girl expat. Nobody could have fought harder. Lots of love to you and your family. Xx

Expat and family a poem to hopefully give comfort.

God bless Aillidh, xx.

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning?s hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft star-shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.
