They had told me that there was a new born baby girl coming, the mother had passed away. So I waited for the little girl, they had to find fuel for the motorbike, so they were late.. When I saw the little baby, I knew this was not a newborn baby, she really looked me in the eyes. While one of the staff took the little girl, I got the sad information from the father and the uncle....
Baby Grace was 11 days old, she was born by a Cesarean operation after 8 months of pregnancy. The mother had had severe headaches during the pregnancy and got very sick, paralyzed at the legs, so the doctors feared for the life of the baby and the mother. After the operation she was send to another city for a CT scan, they had seen something in the brains. From Soroti Hospital they referred her to Mulago hospital in Kampala. In Mulago confirmed that there was cancer in the brain, she died 3 days later.....The family had tried all that they could, the burial was today at heir home, but the father came to Amecet with the baby. He didn't dare to wait. The baby is small and she lost weight since she was born. her weight is now 1.8 kg. She looked at me with those beautiful big eyes, we got her a bath and a bottle, which she took and she slept....
We pray for Grace and also for grace in her family...
