prayers, candles, chants, hand holding for Aillidh

[psychomum5]

No news at the moment since the last update.

I will post it again here in case anyone missed it tho.

"Aillidh update: slight improvement in xray. Bronchoscope and lavage done. She is comfortable and sedated. Plan is to leave her on vent a few days and find out what is going on inside her lungs with results of bronchoscope/lavage. Please, please keep praying. Your prayers, thoughts, vibes and anything are keeping her and us going. We are buoyed by everyone's strength and hope. Her grandmother is here now and her maternal grandparents will be here on Monday."

Thinking of you all.

Does Aillidh have a window in her room? We could get her one of these maybe?

Blathers: they are wonderful. I got one for my birthday last year and it's amazing. Good suggestion.

Thinking of you all xxx

Thanks for the new thread and the update. Praying...

Not been active before, but have been following with concern and hope.

She's in my thoughts.

Just checking in. Still praying for her full recovery xxx

sending all my love and strength to Ailidh and all her family ((((((((()))))))))))))

Hi, all. I am waiting for her consultant to come back to me with bone marrow aspiration results. A's maternal grandmother is sitting with her now and her father is asleep.

We HATE ICU. It's horrid and we've been saddled with every boss mare in the joint.

And one consultant, honestly, if a bus hit him I wouldn't be bothered.

But hers is excellent and going to bat.

She is still on vent support and will be for at least a few days.

I am in a very bad place just now, a valley of darkness, despair, hopelessness and negativity. But with friends and relatives around, this is eased much.

I name these and give them to God.

After MIL has dinner I'm coming back down here to do dinner.

Hit-by-a-bus-please consultant discourages family sitting with the patients 24/7. Well, let's just say, I wish him every ill that could possibly befall a person in this life and the next for his mean heart and cruelty.

We will NOT leave Aillidh. And thankfully, we have her consultant, a very heavy weight, to back us up.

Please, please, keep asking for a miracle. Only God can save her now, truly.

Why the hell does he discourage loved ones? Surely that sort of love and care is important in recovery

What a heartless thing for him to say, of course patients should have their families there with them

Expat is there anything in particular you, your DD or the family/siblings are needing that MNers can sort aside from the pennies?

Love to you all

There are hundreds of not thousands of people holding you, your daughter and the whole family in their thoughts, prayers and hearts

I am lighting a candle for Aillidh now xxx

expat, I hope you face no more opposition to doing what you know is best for your child. We are all sending prayers and support. Please take care xx

He is a callous and cruel man and if this were visited on him, I would not feel sorry for him.

So much love and many prayers with you and yours expat.

expat lovely - you are a complete tigress for your daughter. You have fought and fought and held her up as first. Keep going. You are doing the right thing. You are in a valley right now. Valleys lead out with a stream, which becomes a river. You don't have to climb a mountain...just look for a trickle of hope and follow it x

Hello lovely expat. I have experience of ICU-sitting, with my dad. It's the most surreal place. Thinking of you and praying for you.

After Dad woke up - it was amazing how much he remembered of what we'd said to him. Even when he was so heavily sedated we'd been told he probably couldn't hear us and wouldn't remember even if he could. Much love.

Just checking in and frankly astounded at the apparent callousness of the consultant. I can only assume he is not a parent.

Thinking of you all. x

You keep on doing what you know is best for you all and stuff what under-a-bus thinks

Brave mum, brave daughter. Hang on in there, we're all sending you as much love and strength as we can. xx

All love to you, expat, and to your family. My best hopes are with your daughter. xxx
