Hello everyone, I am using this medium to express my gratitude to everyone who has supported my cousin's health treatment. We really appreciate it as it has gone a long way to help us with her treatment so far.
Many here have asked how she was, and I have responded to them. We are so thankful for the donations and the kind words of everyone who has supported us. It has meant so much to us, and we are so appreciative of how generous and understanding everyone has been. We are still on the road to recovery, and we are hoping that with everyone's help, my cousin will soon be better.
It has been on my mind for some time to write about her health conditions, but I haven't been motivated to do so. But now my family and I have exhausted every financial resource we have. I realize that writing about her health conditions and sharing our story may bring more attention to her case, and hopefully, generate enough donations to help us cover her medical expenses.
Over the past two weeks, her health worsened again, resulting in her body swelling overnight. The doctor sent us the test result he had conducted on her and according to him, she has a blood level of 15% as well as a very strong infection and malaria, but because her blood level is low, they had to watch the medicines and injections they gave to her.
The doctor told us she should undergo dialysis, but her blood level must increase before dialysis can be performed. The dialysis would cost approximately N200,000 ($280) a week (two or three sessions per week). Dialysis is a procedure used to filter waste and toxins from the body when the kidneys are no longer able to do so. The cost of dialysis is high because it is a very complex and time-consuming process. In order for the procedure to be effective, the patient's blood levels must be high enough for the dialysis to be effective.
Since we haven't received this fund yet, we have been spending a lot on her drugs and food. Throughout this period, she has remained strong and we have also kept our faith.
Two days ago, I received a call from my sister. She told me that my cousin's mum had called and explained how my cousin had almost given up. She was rushed to another hospital immediately.
On getting to the hospital, a test was again done on her and it was said that her PCV had dropped as low as 5%. In order to get her the blood she needed, we took out a loan and sent it to them immediately, so she could be given blood. The doctor informed us that she would have to take two pints, but the money was only enough to buy one. Another urine test was also conducted. They will receive the results later today. Also, she needs the second pint of blood today. Unfortunately, we don't have the funds right now, so I am writing another fundraising post to raise money.
We had thought she was getting better, as she had said in the last video I uploaded, but two weeks ago things took a different turn.
Her blood level began to decrease.
she started swelling
Blessing needs another blood transfusion and also needs dialysis. This dialysis will cost a lot, so we need support. In the last two weeks, Blessing has been unable to speak and has been feeling bad about the condition she is in. I am pleading for anyone who can help in any way they can to support us in any way they can.
These are images of Blessing and the test reports we could get.
