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.

I'm so sorry for you and your family. Your daughter was beautiful and touched us all

I'm so so sorry for your loss.

She fought so hard.

Rest now little one, you made more of a difference than you will ever know.

So terribly sorry for your loss, Expat and family xx

Expat, I'm so sorry. We will never forget your little girl. Much love to you all.

Rest in peace, dear Aillidh xxx

So sorry Expat. Only came across Aillidh's story in the last week or so but since then have been constantly thinking about her and checking mn and fb throughout the day, and during night-time feeds. Love all the photos of her on fb, what a fantastic smile and beautiful hair. Hard to believe.... don't know what else can be said. Sorry.

Have followed her progress on FB. I'm so, so sorry Expat. There are just no words ...

Always here for you and yours,

You and your family are in my prayers, Expat.

Expat my love, I am so, so sorry x My thoughts are with you, Andrew & all your family & friends. I know my tears are futile, but still they fall. I hope you know how much we have all fallen in love with Aillidh - we are here with you... sending you love & strength xxx

I'm so sorry darling. Aillidh was a gorgeous girl, and her spirit and tenacity will live on x x x

There's nothing I can type that is going to compare to how I feel.

I just want to say that Aillidh's story has touched me so much and I hold her name in my heart and her face in my memories. She was as brave as lion. Her light will forever shine.

So so sorry - Thinking of you expat and family xx

I am so very sorry x

My deepest condolences to you, expat, as you face this worst of all things. I hope you find some small comfort in the prayers and hopes of the thousands who continue to stand behind you, and relief in the knowledge that now your beautiful daughter is beyond any further hurt and is safe with God. And some day you will be reunited.

Sweetheart I'm so sorry for your loss.

No words

So terribly sorry for you all.

Oh god, I am so so so very sorry.

Like many a mumsnetter I have been following your story and hoping against all hope.

There are no words at the moment.

I have no word of wisdom or comfort to offer. Only a prayer that God shall surround all of Aillidh's loved ones on all sides and hold them in the palm of his hand.
The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord. Job 1:21

I'm just so sorry for you and for all your family that it happened as it did when you were so close to the transplant. It is so wrong and unfair and I wish it could be undone.

In Irish we say: "ní bheith a leithéid ann arís" - there will never be the likes of her again. Rest in peace, Aillidh.

So sorry to hear of her passing Expat xx

Fly free beautiful girl.

So sorry to hear of you and your families loss x

I'm so sorry Expat.

She will be remembered by so many for a long time.
We are all sending you love and prayers xx

So so sorry for your loss.
