According to his mother, Mrs Chibuzor Onuegbe (a reverend) she cries whenever she looks at her son, because he is going through a lot of pains.
The woman believed a surgery, which would be done in Indian, would make the boy alright. She said the operation would gulp N5 million, but the family presently needs N1.5 million.
According to the minister at Assemblies of God Church, David is the third of her four children and was born hale and hearty. But he is now being carried around because he couldn’t walk or stand on his own.
Onuegbe said that David started suffering from ‘cerebral palsy’ when he was ninemonth- old. She said: “He was admitted into Havana Hospital, where he was in coma for eight days. We stayed in the hospital for 15 days and used four cylinders of oxygen. When he came out of coma, he lost the use of everything. He could not even recognise us or hear sound.
He was discharged on the 16th day but his health did not return to normal.” Onuegbe added that David had been suffering for years. She recalled that they went for x-ray and discovered dislocated right hip.
David was diagnosed with an epileptic case, which the family had been seeking solution to. The family had already visited three hospitals in Nigeria, seeking for solution, but none of the hospitals could treat him.
After trying hospitals and traditional doctors in Nigeria with no positive changes, the family decided to go to Vikram Hospital in India.
