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.

Cancer is horrid. It takes people from there familys.

We.are always ready to listen. Keep posting when you need to. (((Hugs)))

I am so so sorry .

One whole calender month since she left you.

Still think about you every day.x

Thinking of you, expat.

Thinking of you Expat, your pain is unimaginable to me. I wish I could bear some of it for you. I am listening and sending my love. x

I cannot bear to think of you clearing her room. How pathetic am I.

(hugs)

It's completely fucking unfair Leigh - Aillidh should be here with you :(

There's not a day goes by when I don't think of you all - not that that really helps I know :( I wish I could take some of the grief for you.

Biggest Hugs and lots of strength xxx

Another one who cannot get through the day without thinking of you.

One month since she left to be with god. I am.so so sorry

I am posting less and less on this thread as I'm starting to feel inappropriate. I'm sorry, it bears little relation to how often I think about A and you. There are still no words that will do, but I am praying for strength.

Going to see her Friday and DD2 wants to have a picnic there with all A's fav foods - so A can eat her lunch.

:( so sad...

Its so hard, but its a lovely idea for DD2.
Thinking of you.Am so sorry.

Oh, that is so heart breaking.

Expat, I know that thing about luck... we had a plethora of deaths - we'd be just starting to come out of the shock of one and there'd be another. It went on and on and on. At one point I began to think we were cursed (an MNer soon put me to rights on that one). Nothing equal to your loss though. I think of you every day.

Got her cross with plaque today. We're going to set it at her grave tomorrow. Just to mark it till we think over what we want on a headstone for her.

Hope the sun manages to shine tomorrow expat

and I will be thinking of you all xx

Hope the sun shines tommorow. Will be thinking off you and all the family all day.
Xx

I too hope the sun shines for you tomorrow, I'll be thinking of you. I hope you manage the picnic, it's a lovely, but hard thing to do x

It's a sunny day down south, I hope it's the same for you. Will be thinking of you at lunchtime, your DD2's comment is lovely. Take care x

Stunning day today - it's like living in a foreign country! Hope it's been like that for you today too.

Hope the sun has shone for you today.

In my thoughts x

A beautiful day! Got our picnic with Aillidh and put up her plaque. Took lovely photos. Got to see Giraffes! Bonus!

Really glad to hear that, Expat. I'm sure Aillidh enjoyed her picnic x

So glad the day went well for you. The sun shone brightly here, I hope it did for you too.

Glad it was a lovely day.

Lots of love and blessings.xx
