so many wonderful threads, but they appear to hate phone apps so hoping we are all okay with a shiny new one.

wonderful positive news to wake to....the girl has spirit and fight!! Long may she continue to astound us.

It is 5.08AM. Aillidh is with us still, with sats that have remained in the 70s for the night, even when moved, and a stable pulse, and pupils reacting normally to light stimulus.

what an amazing little girl. That's all I can say.

51wksApart · 06/07/2012 12:46

oh you clever clever girl. Keep going - you can do it. You were my first thought this morning.

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 06/07/2012 12:49

Surging love and hope here. x

WinstonWolf · 06/07/2012 12:50

Come on Aillidh, you are doing so very well. Keep fighting!

Lots of love to expat & family, and to the lovely giraffes.

Here's hoping that Aillidh's sats keep improving x

Badgersnatch · 06/07/2012 12:51

Come on girl xxx

justonemorethread · 06/07/2012 12:51

Lit a candle in church. Watched it flicker and burn, hoping and hoping to send the darkness away. Wish there was more one could do.

HaveALittleFaith · 06/07/2012 12:54

Still praying in Lincoln! Come on Ailidh, you can do it!
Gave DH an update this morning - we've been praying for her - and he said Blimey she's a fighter, isn't she?! yes she is!
Praying that she and all her family will know God's comfort.

FriedSprout · 06/07/2012 12:54

Come on sweetheart, hugs and strength to family and friends too. You must be exhausted

maybeyoushoulddrive · 06/07/2012 12:58

What an amazing update.

Love to Aillidh, Expat, her family and friends. xxx

GobblersKnob · 06/07/2012 12:59

Ever since someone mentioned it on here this morning, I have been unable to get Dory's 'just keep swiiming' song out of my head, so here is the quote it it's entirety

Dory:"Hey Mr. Grumpy Gills... When life gets you down do you wanna know what you gotta do?"
Marlin:"I don't wanna know what you gotta do."
Dory:"Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming. What do we do? We swim, swim."
Marlin:"Dory, no singing."
Dory:"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ho. I love to swim. When you want to swim you want to swim."

C'mon little girl, just keep swimming Smile

from expat,

"She's still sitting around 70-75. My heart is in my throat."

This will sound silly but I was giving DS a bowl of Coco Pops yesterday and an image of Aillidh sitting up and eating some popped into my head. I'm going to keep picturing her like that, Happy and healthy.

You're doing great Aillidh!

StealthPolarBear · 06/07/2012 13:01

Is it good that she is stable or bad she's been at this level for so long?

LobstersLass · 06/07/2012 13:03

Bravo Aillidh! You keep fighting lass. x

CiderwithBuda · 06/07/2012 13:04

Another one who was thinking of Aillidh all night. Was terrified to log on this morning but was so thrilled to see the FB update.

I must admit that last night I was angry that all the love and prayers wasnt working. But now! Wow. Keep on praying. Keep on hoping. Keep on wishing. I have not prayed so much since I was at school. A long long time ago.

Off to light my candle again.

Come on Aillidh, you little fighter! Come on!

gatheringlilac · 06/07/2012 13:04

Signing in for the love, strength and hope surge: sending love.

BreastmilkDoesAFabLatte · 06/07/2012 13:05

Stealth I don't know. But someone on here must...

I'm trying to imagine what this must feel like for Aillidh to be fighting so hard. I can't imagine it.

Praying, still...

sparkybabe · 06/07/2012 13:07

Psycho - is she conscious?

Sorry, don't know much about it, but really hoping here.....

halfbabyhalfbiscuit · 06/07/2012 13:09

Keep going you brave little princess. You have the love of your amazing family and thousands of strangers behind you xxx

happybirthdayHiggs · 06/07/2012 13:13

I don't know Stealth I was wondering the same thing.
My wish for you, Aillidh, is for whatever is best for you, brave scrapper of a child. Courage and strength to fight on or let go.

Haemadoots · 06/07/2012 13:14

Another one here who had a heavy heart this morning but wow! What a brave and inspiring girl you are aillidh! Is aillidh still being ventilated does anyone know? Sending love and prayers to you Aillidh and expat and giraffes. I am so proud to be a mnetter what an amazing bunch of people you all are.

ChippingInNeedsCoffee · 06/07/2012 13:14

Stealth. I think it's good news, great news. Aillidh appeared to be going downhill yesterday, but she got through the night, her stats were stable even when she was moved and she has suprised them all... that has to be good x

Sparky - no, she's not, but they are reading & talking to her x

StealthPolarBear · 06/07/2012 13:15

Is it good that she is stable or bad she's been at this level for so long?

LiberteEgaliteFRIGGernite · 06/07/2012 13:16

If anyone can explain what the updates mean,that would be so helpful to those of us who don't quite understand the medical terms.

For now I'm assuming stable=good.

Keep fighting Allidh,
love hope and strength to you,warrior girl,and to your amazing family.
