My son’s battle with Gaucher disease

Njoki Mwangi and her son Daniel

In 2010, we started noticing that my son Daniel had a bigger than normal belly. But we assumed that we were just doing a fine job of feeding him and were proud of that fact. This was until one day when my mother decided to tag along Daniel to her Bible study group meeting, and while there, one of the members, Dr Waweru, thought there was something more to the little boy’s swollen belly. He asked my mother to take Daniel to his clinic and have him checked out.
