This is a huge tribute to my cherished minti friend, Cristlyn. i know that many of you have been touched by her kindness and beautiful friendship. She is such an amazing person and at the moment she is going through probably one of the most traumatic times of her life......... and it should have been so happy. I feel for her soooo much.............

Her hard times have been going for so long already with her little guy born with low muscle tone, and continuing to need treatments but she has always remained positive despite everything she's gone through. She was so excited about having Arianna and this should been the happiest time for her. Her nightmare started on Monday night, with horrible pains and Ari was only 35 weeks.

She's had such a rough time with the placenta completely detaching and massive heamorrage which meant she needed an emergency caesar. She needed blood transfusions and has been extremely exhausted because her blood count is still low so she''s needed to have more transfusions today. I spoke to her tonight and she's sounding a little better. i'm just trying to be there for her as much as I can under the circumstances and only wish I lived closer by to help out more with Kadi and Tahlia. And on top of all that Kadi has his op in two weeks so I just cannot believe all that she's going through. She's such a tough cookie!!!

I'm helping her stay positive about everything, she's in the best place and the doctors and nurses are doing a fantastic job looking after her and Arianna. Bub's beautiful, fit and healthy, and all is great with her so no need to worry there. Cristlyn will get better but it's just going to take some time and a great deal of rest, but I know when she comes home from hospital she's going to need plenty of support.

I just hope that I can do as much as I can but i know I'm only one person. And I know she'd do the same for anyone else. She is such an amazing person and does not deserve all this.
