Prayers for Aillidh.

Just wanted to start a prayer thread for expat's little girl, Ailidh, who has been very ill with leukaemia. Just wanted to show our support and pray that her treatment works and that she is back in action very, very soon!

DD and I lit a couple of candles at the cathedral this morning for Aillidh, and said a prayer for her.
Will keep doing the same for her every week when we are there. xx

Silly consultant.
I looked whlle I was out. Clintons got me excited, their stuff was Rapunzel which is either a different Disney film or Barbie. Sorry. We have four card/party shops. None had Tangled.

Rips- tangled is disneys rapunzle, big eyed long haired princess with a green iguana x

More great news! Well done Aillidh! X

ripsishere · 16/06/2012 14:26

Bumcakes. all they had though were cards. I honestly thought it was a different film Blush. My DD is far too old and grown up to watch Disney still.

Vlood? You are sounding a bit vampirish, giraffes!Wink

Bless her, she needs to know someone is there.

expat, I think it's an awful shame but many doctors are so afraid to sound positive even if they are expecting a good outcome. Have come across it so many times. Aillidh is sounding better and better each day.

This keyboard confuses me, I feel like it is all ver to the left. Blush It makes me type like cod.

StateofConfusion · 16/06/2012 15:19

Bumcakes Grin dd had watched it a million times before I --looked up from mumsnet-- paid enough attention to realise it was rapunzle Blush

Hope Aillidh is finally getting some well earned rest x

KenDoddsDadsDog · 16/06/2012 19:12

RabidAnchovy · 17/06/2012 11:22

Postcards?

giraffesCantFitInThePalace · 17/06/2012 14:54

yes can do :) pm me if want address - can't remember who has it

giraffesCantFitInThePalace · 17/06/2012 16:43

Hello, sitting with Aillidh just now, so expat can wrap pressies. I think she seems a bit better - in that she not as grumpy/demanding! And has arms out blankets not snuggled up to neck. Sats seems low though - 95 on oxygen where as yesterday was 99/000 on oxygen. temp still up high.

Wont be up tomorrow - working 8-8 then ging to pick up the cake!!!!!! Next time after today i see her it will be birthday day! YAY!

sweetkitty · 17/06/2012 16:50

I'm glad you can sit with her and give Leigh a break even yesterday would be good for her just to get away from that place for a few hours. And Aillidhs not on her own. I think it's good when she's telling them off and fighting them rather than just lying there. I said to expat yesterday don't think of it as a shame she had her 9th birthday in there but that she'll get another 9th birthday when she's out and better, 2 9th birthdays Grin

giraffesCantFitInThePalace · 17/06/2012 16:57

Dr has just said to put her o2 up to 2 litres cos she not holding sats on oxygen. But chect xray was worse today so that explains why.

giraffesCantFitInThePalace · 17/06/2012 16:58

Yes was good for her to et out for a coffee/cake with you yesterday Grin

ToothbrushThief · 17/06/2012 17:09

Hope the chest improves and she feels better for her birthday

sweetkitty · 17/06/2012 18:29

Good to see the 3 of you, won't leave it as long next time. As I said I want to come back soon and go "OMG she looks so much better"

Elephantscantdothemoonwalk · 17/06/2012 18:43

Hope ailldh feels better on her birthday.

Birnamwood · 17/06/2012 21:58

So glad to see Aillidh is on the up :)

Please can I point you in the direction of this thread.

I am running wobbling the London 10k in aid of ClicSargent and would greatly appreciate your support. Many thanks :)

StealthPolarBear · 18/06/2012 07:02

Just wondering how Ailidh is now?

sassytheFIRST · 18/06/2012 09:37

Hi, me too. Keep thinking of you all and sending jiggy-platelet thoughts. Will sing happy birthday and have my 9year old dd blow out a candle on Aillidh's behalf tomorrow x

chipmonkey · 18/06/2012 09:56

News on FB is very, very good. No temp spike in 12 hours and pee-ing for Scotland!
