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 wish I knew what to say but I am thinking of you all today and I am sure we will all be with you in spirit if not there in person.

I just keep deleting what I type as it just doesn't come out right.

I am so so sorry.

We have been talking about Aillidh today, about the things she liked and how incredibly brave she was.
We have blown bubbles for her, up in the mountains of Japan.

Goodbye sweet girl xxx
