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, you don't know me but I just wanted to send you love and say how sorry I am. Thinking of you and praying for you and your family. RIP Aillidh, sweet dreams.

Ah, Aillidh. Expat. I'm so, so sorry. My heart goes out to you.

So very sorry expat. RIP sweet Ailidh xxx

Just lighting a candle that you and your family are given strength for the registration appointment and that God holds you close today.

Oh Expat. I've been thinking of you all during Aillidh's illness and am just so shocked she has gone. I've always noticed your posts on subjects large and small and enjoyed your wit and style. I hope the posts of others can bring you even a little of what you need in this sad, sad time. Much love from our family, x.

So very, very sorry

Oh Expat, there are no words :(. I've been following Aillidh's journey constantly this past week and was so saddened to see that she had lost her brave fight. You and your family are in my prayers.

God saw you getting weary,
When a cure was not to be.
He opened up his arms to you,
And whispered 'come to me'.

Our heart, your heart.

So sorry Expat.

Oh, expat, I am so, so sorry to find this new today.

May Ailidh find the peace she so deserves after her long and valiant fight against this bastard of a disease.
And may you all grieve and support each other as a family and forever hold Ailidh in your heart as the much loved child and inspiration that she was.

I never actually met Ailidh, but she will stay with me for a long, long time.
As ever, much love and strength.
