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.

Desperately sad to hear this Expat, I am so very, very sorry.

I followed and hoped alongside hundreds of others. So sorry expat that she has been taken from you. My heart goes out to you and your family x

just wanted to let you know that you are never far from my thoughts. Once again, I am so deeply sorry.

I'm greatly saddened by the loss of your lovely Aillidh. I will never forget her & her brave fight against this horrendous disease. You & your family have my very deepest sympathies & are in my thoughts xxxx

Oh my goodness expat. I am lost for words. Having been off Mn for a while I didn't know about this situation and have been filled with grief and shock for you. I am so truly sorry.

Truly, truly sorry, expat. May she rest in peace.

((((((Leigh and family))))))

Thinking of you all. Just wish I could give you a proper hug.

I am so very sorry for your loss, expat.

So sorry, expat, so very sorry

Up late working and thinking of you all, expat. Wanting to help bear you up and carry you from a distance, as Northernlurker said.

Expat I wish i could write something that would take your pain away, but there isn't anything, is there?...Aillidh brought a global family to you, with her courage and hope. Please lean on us.
I have never prayed for anything or anyone as much and hard as I prayed for Aillidh. I'm so sorry she couldn't stay.
I will now turn my prayers to you, to hold you and support you through this very dark time. I will not forget beautiful Aillidh and I will not forget you. xx

Still thinking about you.

Morning, Expat. How are you all doing. The girls must be finding everything strange. May you have some beautiful memories of Aillidh today.

mumat39 - that post really made me stop and think. I have always thought that some people have a way of drawing people together and making real changes to the world.

I think Aillidh was a very very special child. x

My sincere condolences expat.

Mumat39, what a lovely post.

I have donated to Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research, and joined the Anthony Nolan Register, all thank you to your wonderful, precious Aillidh. She will always be carried in the hearts and thoughts of so many people x

Mumat39 What a beautiful post.

I'm so sorry to read this expat, as a mother to a daughter similar in age I can't comprehend how you're feeling right now. Much love to you and yours at this horrendous time.

yes that was a lovely post mumat39 and Aillidh was a very special little girl who has touched many, many hearts, she will never be forgotten. xxx

much love to you expat, i hope you your dh and two little ones can hold each other close, one step at a time xx

I am so very, very sorry.

so so sorry xxx

I'm so very sorry to hear this. I had been following Aillidh's progress over the last few weeks and Expat and family you are in my thoughts.

I lost my mum to leukaemia 32 years ago so donate fairly regularly to Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research, but will make a donation in Aillidh's name also.

What a powerful and beautiful post mumat39.
