Ekemini, the 13-year-old girl pregnant girl (pictured
with Hope) who was rescued by Danish aid worker, Anja Ringgren Loven and
her husband David Emmannuel Umem, will be undergoing a caesarean
section operation because doctors discovered that the position of her
baby in the uterus is not normal. Moreover, her pelvis is not completely
developed due to her young age. Anja's post below:
"Last
week I told you about Ekemini, a 13 year old pregnant girl whoDavid
Emmanuel Umem and our team rescued and brought to DINNødhjælp/ACAEDF
Childrens Home in Nigeria.
Since we rescue this beautiful young girl we took her to the hospital
for examination.
The doctors discovered that the position of her baby in
the uterus is not normal, so she will not be able to deliver her baby
vaginally. So next week Thursday Ekemini will have a caesarean section
operation. Besides that, because of Ekemini´s very young age her
pelvis is not completely developed so if she deliver her baby vaginally
the labour might be prolong, and where there is prolong labour
complications might set in.
As you also know Hope is also having
an operation. Hypospadias is an inborn condition in which one has an
incomplete developed urethra. Urethral meatus opens incorrectly at
various locations along the underside of the penis, scrotum or in the
perineum. The doctors found this inborn condition on Hope.
We
have been waiting a very long time for Hope to be operated, but always
remember that we are living in an area where the health system is not
working as you know it to do in the western world countries.
On
the 27 of May our nurse Rose will take Hope to see the doctor for him to
make all the necessary tests on Hope that is needed before his
hypospadias operation. And after the tests has been made a date for the
operation will be arranged.
The caesarean operation of Ekemini
and the hypospadias operation of Hope is very expensive so if you want
to help us pay for the two operations please make a donation to
