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.

Expat, I have no words, the ones I do have are meaningless...

I am so so sorry you have all had to go through this.

You and yours were in my thoughts constantly these last few weeks.

Sending you love and strength xx

Expat, my heart breaks for you. I am so so sorry. I wish there were more than words I could offer. I wish I could take some of your pain for even a minute. I wish so much. X x x

Oh no. :(

I am so sorry for your loss expat. Your daughter was a very brave little girl and you are in my thoughts and prayers xx

So sorry. I will say a prayer in school with my form tomorrow for you and your family. I have had you all in my thoughts and have followed your beautiful Aillidh's story. I am so so sorry for your loss :(

I wish you the strength to get through these darkest of days xxx

I am so so sorry ! Your family ar in thoughts and prayers, xx

So so sorry, been camping this weekend and just got back turned laptop on. Just couldnt believe it, she was still rallying on Friday when l last looked.
She tried so so hard to stay with you and l dont blame her - you are such an inspiring wonderful family. It may not seem like it now but you will get through this together and your little girl will l believe find a way of letting you know she is still around you.

" 'WHO DARED PLUCK THIS FLOWER?' said the gardener.

'I DID' said the Master

and the gardener fell silent."

Expat - I have read your posts on mn over the years and cannot believe your beautiful daughter is gone. I'm so truly sorry and hoped for a miracle. You are in our thoughts. we all send our love. xxx

Expat - your faith has inspired us and your loving fight for your daughter has amazed us. Thank you for letting us try to offer you some support through this awful time. I know Aillidh is home safe with Our Father but we want her here with you so that hurts so very much. You will be in my prayers today and in the days to come.

Tragic news.
Broken hearted for you dear Expat.

expat, i am so, so, sorry for your loss.

I hope your faith and the love of your family give you the strength to get through the difficult times ahead.

I will never forget Aillidh and i am registering as a donor because of her.

You have my very deepest sympathies with much love and respect.

I 'know' you from many threads of old. My heart goes out to you and I wish you strength to get through this somehow. As we say in Turkish, I wish you calm to your mind.

Devastating, I hope all the thoughts, hopes and prayers of mn and the vast Internet community she touched gave or gives you some comfort.

So much love sent to your family, and all our other mumsnet mums who sadly have had and will have reason to start a post in this section

I'm so very sorry for your loss ExPat :(

So sorry to hear that your Aillidh has slipped away.
My thoughts are with you all.

Oh Expat I am so sorry

Dearest Expat, family, friends and those who were there with darling A during her last few moments.

I am so very sorry that your beautiful daughter finally lost her fight to such a cruel and twisted illness after battling so very, very hard. No words can take away the hurt, the pain and utter despair of losing a child.

The crushing guilt, the gravity of her going is immense. You gave her everything that you could Expat, everything.

Much love to you sweetheart xx

Thank you for taking the time to post on here expat, when your heart must be breaking.

The strength of love that has emanated from Mumsnet has been palpable.

Rest in peace Aillidh.
