“What this means is that one day my beautiful four year old daughter stopped walking, soon stopped talking, soon stopped eating soon was so drowsy couldn’t keep her eyes open and thereafter went into a deep coma that she had to be taken to ICU and put on life suppport for a whole month.”
Betty painted a picture of how that period was like for her and her family.

“I was depressed, cried silently sometimes hoping God would see my tears. I always feared going to the ward or ICU because I wasn’t sure what function she would lose the next day or hour. Thankfully God saw my tears.”
Celebrating the end of 2019, Betty is grateful for the health of her only daughter.
