''My love please help me share this story for women who give their children self- medication without going to the hospital to find out properly what is actually wrong. I was so heartbroken today being children's day, I am still crying even though the kid is not related to me, I just can't control my emotion.
Today I went with a colleague of my who wanted to do a scan to know if her baby is developing well, because she has been having severe pains lower abdomen, immediately I stepped into the gate I saw a man holding a baby boy covered in wrapper, seated on a chair and crying, then a woman by the side and other people hanging around.
I asked the gate man what happened he said that the baby the man is holding is dead, he died even before they brought him and that they couldnt take his dead body into the hospital,I started weeping, shivers all over, I went close and inquired from a lady standing by what happened, she said the baby was not feeling well a week ago, he was running temperature that his mother said she did self medication and brought down his temperature, the sickness got serious and she took him to a chemist that didn't inquire what was wrong with the baby, just checked the baby's temperature and said it's Malaria and gave the baby malaria injections.
Yesterday the baby started vomiting and the mum still didn't take him to the hospital, until this morning the when the baby wasn't breathing again, she ran to her neighbour who is a pastor, and woman said immediately she carried the baby, she knew the baby was gone, to fulfil all righteousness she told the dead baby's parents to enter the car so they could head to the hospital. On getting to the hospital the nurse who checked the baby outside and pronounced him dead.
I walked up to this dead baby's mum in tears, I asked her why?? Why?? Why?? She said ''aunty no money to carry my baby to hospital''
I said ''why you no go government general hospital @least''
she said ''Ma my husband na police man, no money for transport, nothing''
I said ''so it has gotten to this point what would you do now? You have lost your son''
I held her,prayed with her and her husband, they said they wanted to carry the dead baby to the village to bury him, I called a cab, that will take them from Port harcourt to Ogoni, gave all the money I had on me to them and left in tears.
Stella sorry for my typo errors but my emotions are having the best of me right now, but I just want you to share this story as a lesson to mother who will stay@home and give their sick children self- medication without knowing what they are treating.. it is bad..... Stop it.
Today is Childrens day and a family is mourning their child due to carelessness, please!!! please!! please!! Mothers in the house always pay close attention to your children's health, they are Gods divine gift to us''
Thanks *sobs*
