Say a prayer

Leo am searching for some prayer warriors out here!

My 1 and a half month baby nephew was today diagnosed with a very rare disease known as Biliary Artesia , which is found in like 1 out of every 15,000 kids and is unfortunately not curable per se. In short, what happened is that he was born without a gall bladder and binary ducts (leaving the liver)... so leo he underwent some surgery to connect the bile drainage from the liver directly to the intestinal tract.

However, some kids respond to the said corrective surgery, while others don't & doctors can't jua whether or how long the kid will survive with the new connection. Thus, we are praying for divine intervention in Andrew's (that's his name) situation for both the short term and the long term.

Am certain that you'll remember him in your prayers.... that's one of the reasons i love you guys!

Cheers Deno & Soulsystah.

Sadly however ... Andrew passed on a few hours after the post. Strangely though- what killed him was not the condition, but the local anesthesia used right after the surgery, which he reacted adversely to.

My condolences to you and your family. Thank you for sharing your life Kibet. Read about the condition and it broke my heart but whatever God lets happen there is a reason. I've come to appreciate that alot more now that two of my friends had miscarriages recently and now baby Andrew is gone before I got to meet him.
