12th August 2004A very special day for Aimee yesterday as she received her bone marrow transplant at Yorkhill Hospital in Glasgow

Since August 4th Aimee has been preparing for the transplant with chemotherapy and radiotherapy – apart from only a handful of occasions Aimee was really quite well going into the transplant. In fact at one point we had to remind her that she was supposed to be ill.

Our idea of transforming her lamina flow room into secret fairy den was such a success that she couldn’t wait to get into it.

For all it’s medical paraphernalia it has a peaceful room which is full of fairies – the most gracious of which is the Healing Fairy so kindly gifted to Aimee from Robert Gould from the world of Brian and Wendy Froud – it really does set the scene beautifully with various fairies and pixies at her feet. To say that Aimee loves it hardly describes how much Aimee loves it.

The transplant itself took place last night and passed off without incident. Aimee had a peaceful and undisturbed night too. We now wait for the marrow to find its new home and settle in – hopefully with minimal ill-effects. It was quite a moving sight to see the marrow gifted to Aimee and to think that some one somewhere has the potential to give her a new life. Whoever that very special person is their selfless act is one that I hope Aimee has the opportunity to say thank you to in person in the days ahead.

Thank you for all the love and support you have shown Aimee – it truly helps us all

Sincere and grateful thanks
Rosie Butler – Aimee’s Mum
