After 3 days in Kijabe we came back to a hospital in Nairobi. She was sick but she was always so full of joy. Many of us always went home more encouraged by her. 27/01/16 5:55pm

Making gang signs all the way ? hypocalcemia for what? I was taking all this photos so I can later show her how close she came to death when she gets better. I guess she got too close

I stared at this monitor for like 30 mins hopping to see the blood pressure shoot up. It was at 49/20 for the longest time. That’s the end of that story. Now to pick up the pieces and soldier on. Good bye Njeri. You’ll always be in my heart
