Mama Ruth underwent a hipbone replacement surgery a few days gone. She is currently recuperating and is set to walk again after years of agony and being motionless.
Having struggled to move around for years, Ruth, who also is a widow, fell, critically ill a few weeks ago from one of her hip bones which rendered her motionless due to the unbearable pain it exuded.
With grandchildren to look after and no one to take care of her, it was lucky we got to her when we did. She was rushed to a nearby mission hospital where she was quickly scheduled for surgery to save her leg.
After days of wait, the procedure went down well and right now, she is on the road to full recovery.
Her hip complications arose from a road accident she had about a decade ago and since she wasn’t well taken care of medically, the fracture didn’t heal as it should have. However, thankfully she will be able to walk better than before and care for her eight grandchildren as she has for years.
Ruth doubles up as grandmother and sole guardian to Ben and Noel, children in our sponsorship program.
