12th August 2004<\/strong><\/span>A very special day for Aimee yesterday as she received her bone marrow transplant at Yorkhill Hospital in Glasgow<\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Thank you for all the love and support you have shown Aimee – it truly helps us all<\/p>\n

Sincere and grateful thanks
