We are Team Tilly!

Tilly (affectionately known as Mouse) became unwell in Bintan, Indonesia after a family reunion in Ireland. Tilly and family were making their way home to Prebbleton, Christchurch when she became unwell with a gastro type presentation, which soon escalated. Bridget and Vince packed up early and on the advice of family, they travelled to Singapore, where Tilly was admitted to KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital.

It was confirmed Tilly had Salmonella, Cryptosporidium, E Coli and a very severe infection throughout her intestines. As a result, there have been a number of complications. Mouse is in a critical but stable condition with a kidney injury, which has resulted in a number of blood transfusions and Tilly being placed on dialysis.

Tilly is currently in ICU and she is very unwell.

Due to hospital procedure Evie is unable to visit Tilly, which is hard for both of them. Although Evie is holding up as well as can be expected, this is an incredibly unsettling time for her too and an incredibly difficult juggle for both Bridget and Vince.

The Hendley’s have been so moved by the offers of support and the sheer number of people wanting to give. They have reluctantly allowed me to create this page.
