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.

Thinking of you and your family. My heart goes out to you. x

It's been glorious here today, I couldn't help, but think the Aillidah should be enjoying it too

Still thinking of you Expat xx

Still in my thoughts.

love and hugs to you all and we are thinking about your darling Aillidh xx

me too expat

xxx

(no words adequate)

Love too you. I still thibk of you so often. Stay safe x

I've not posted for a while as it seems so inadequate but I often think of you, Expat, and you too Psycho and Giraffes.

I was watching this today and I thought of Aillidh, somewhere over the rainbow.

You are in my thoughts and prayers. x

Three weeks tomorrow.

Oh Expat it must still be very raw.

Love and strength to you and your family x

I don't think a day goes by without me remembering Aillidh's big beautiful smile; I always request a blessing for you all expat.

Much love.xxx

expat, thinking of you today. x

Another one thinking of you often. x

She slipped away so fast.

We think of Aillidh, you and your family every day.

...as you've just said. It's early days. Just take one day at a time.

((((Sending love & hugs your way.))))

Aillidh will always be in my thoughts. x

Raising a glass to her at 11.25PM, the moment she left us for the next life.

I shall raise a glass to her too

expat, still thinking of Ailidh and you every day .

Her battle is over; yours and your family's to learn to live with this huge gap in your lives is only just beginning.

I am sorry I never mentioned to you I was about to go on holiday and just 'disappeared', it just seemed inappropriate. Please, be in touch if I can help out in any way xx.

Thank you, Pacific, for being there. I wish we could have met in better circumstances. The chemo. It just weakened her too much. Bless her consultant, gah, how she fought for Aillidh, always did.

She lasted a little over two days after she threw that clot.

So, so sorry, Expat x

Expat ,I dont think there is anything i can add to what others have now said.Life must be pretty awful right now for you and your family, but your lovely daughter will never be gone ,you will all keep her alive in your minds and in your hearts.x

23.25 will take a wee moment think of your lassie aillidh
and acknowledge her passing
and I hope in time it gets easier and you manage to balance it with the good stuff,the laughs. and theres the unfairness that illness brings, it is a harsh experience

Having a quiet weep for Aillidh and you expat. You all fought so hard.

Much love.
