We are a young family of 5 from Waitara, Taranaki. We have 3 beautiful children. My 3 year old son Lewis and 4 month old twin daughters Aaria Faith & Bella Rose. Aaria unfortunately has bacterial meningitis which was caused from an ear infection. There is absolutely nothing we could have done to prevent this life threatening infection. We are devastated and praying our beautiful daughter will make a full recovery and get through this rough time. We have no immediate family close to us and will all be staying in hospital while Aaria fights off the infection. We pray her little body is strong enough. Your well wishes and prayers will help us continue to be strong for our baby. She is a fighter and has already shown so much strength and resilience.
