Enoch's Story

Enoch was  admitted at HLCH on 22^nd August 2012 when he was about 3 - 4 months old.  He seemed to be in good health although his chest was a bit congested; he was a jovial baby. 

 

Picture of Enoch when he was admitted at HL

 He was put on some antibiotics but after two weeks, the congestion worsened.  We were referred to another hospital and to another and finally he was admitted at the Gertrude hospital where he was in ICU(intensive care ward) for 10 days and in the recovery ward for another 3 weeks.  It so happened that when he got serious, the doctors in the governments hospitals were on leave and since it was an emergency, we took him to Gertrude children's hospital.  He accumulated a very large bill of more than a million Kenya shillings which we have not yet settled the whole of it until now.  When he was released from Gertrude, Enoch was never the same, he was discharged paralyzed, some doctors says its cerebral palsy; of which we cant figure out whether it was a result of the sickness or the effects of the drugs he was taking.... very unfortunate!! However, we thank God who has a good plan for his life. 

 

The day he was discharged from Gertrude Hospital

The first week of this year, he got sick again and admitted at Kiambu district hospital with bronchial pneumonia.  He was discharged on Friday 17th and has fully recovered.  However, the doctors have advised that he needs frequent therapy although we used to take him for a therapy once a week.  God got him out of the comma when he was at the ICU for 10 days!! He has healed him again, He has a good plan for his Life!!! Our prayers goes to Enoch.
