Karlien van Jaarsveld opens up about emotional journey with daughter

Karlien van Jaarsveld took to Instagram to make a heartbreaking post. Doctors have been unable to perform a long-awaited medical procedure on her 1-year-old daughter, Elah.

Last year, she had to cancel shows to be with her daughter who was then seriously ill.

Karlien’s daughter has a blood clot in her portal vein.

“They call it Portal vein Thrombosis.”

“The long-awaited operation that my husband and I were looking forward to for Elah has taken place. All we want is for her to finally be healthy after this massive procedure. It gave us hope and helped us get through everything,” she wrote.

According to Karlien, the operation was supposed to last four hours. It was once the doctor met them in the paediatric room afterward that they got the bad news.

“He says ‘she’s fine, but I couldn’t do anything for her.’ I must have misheard him? Huh? What do you mean Dr.? Please repeat? ‘I couldn’t do the shunt’,” she recalls their interaction.

A shunt is used to open clogged veins, allowing fluid to move along from one part of the body to another.

“Our baby has been cut open, from one side to the other side of her little tummy, just to see that the Dr. can’t do anything for her. Her veins are totally different from what the radiologist told the Dr. and so he had to just stitch her up again. Such a big incision, with no change,” Karlien went on to say.

Elah is now in recovery.

“Elah is recovering in PICU. They are suppressing the pain with strong medication, and overtime will lessen her dosage as she gets better. My heart is in pieces and is being pulled in every direction.”

Karlien van Jaarsveld Threatening To Take Legal Action Against Ex

Karlien van Jaarsveld is now threatening to take legal action against her ex-husband, Derick Hougaard. This is according to her mother, Ronel Brink.

Her threats come after the two were involved in a social media scuffle this past week.

Karlien had shared an Instagram post writing: “We can’t find my sons. Derick is drunk; we don’t know where the children are please! This is how they look, please help to search!” An hour later, she announced that the children were “found”.

She later spoke about the incident after being criticized.

The following day, Derick too spoke about his disappointment in her.

“We were the safest that we could be. We were sitting with friends and later the kids got cold. One of our friends own the Summit Bar. So we went to go sit there, because they were getting cold. We covered them up, and they were sleeping.”

Karlien is reported to be thinking of taking legal action not to keep the children away from their father, but for them to be safe when they are with him.

She has now spoken about the incident saying that her nanny let her know that Derick had left with the children, and could not be located.

“It was the longest hour of my life. I was afraid for my children’s safety,” Karlien said.

The children were found with their father in a restaurant outside Loftus.

Derick later posted a photo of himself with the children. He wrote: “Apparently there is chaos about my children who were ‘gone’ while they slept safely next to their daddy tonight. It was before Karlien’s mom came and grabbed them.”

Karlien has also posted a full statement on her Facebook page in which she details what happened and makes several allegations against Derick.

Karlien’s mother has also come to her defence.

“To every person who’s criticizing Karlien (or myself) – what would you have done if your children went missing? Would you not also use any platform necessary to locate your children? I would do it again, and again. I would fight with my life for my children, and grandchildren.”
