Lucy Boslem, or Lucy B as she was known to many and liked to call herself, was a happy, healthy 8 year old girl who had such a colourful and vibrant personality; she could light up any room that she walked into and did lite up many people’s lives. Lucy was a confident wee girl who would make friends with anyone, no matter what age they were, she would love to befriend them and make them feel involved.
Ten days before we sadly lost Lucy B she had flu like symptoms.
However, 3 days before she started to become herself again, laughing
and joking and playing with her friends. On 16 July 2011, we were at a
family party and Lucy B as always was life and soul of the party -
wanting to party on and spend time with her friends and family as long
as she could.
Lucy went to bed that evening, excited that she was going on
holiday the following day. Unfortunately on the 17 July 2011 Lucy took
a seizure in her bed. Paramedics believed it to be diabetes however
shortly on her arrival to hospital, Lucy’s condition
deteriorated significantly. After an X-ray Lucy’s heart was shown to
be enlarged. On 17 July 2011, we lost our Lucy very suddenly with no
other symptoms other than a minor cold.
We found out that it was myocarditis a month later that took our
beautiful Lucy away. We feel it is so important to raise awareness of
myocarditis as if we knew anything about it perhaps our Lucy B would
still be here with us
today.
Lucy lives on in the heart of her family and friends and we
believe her to be looking down on us all, a sparkling little butterfly
in the sky.
