Famous Kenyan comedian Lawrence Macharia youngest daughter, Milla Netai, turned two-years-old yesterday, February 1, 2021. In celebration, her parents put together a heartwarming video of their hardships as a young family, including their miscarriage right before Milla was born.
"There is a God who hears our cry. A short story about our Pregnancy, miscarriage and Milla's surgeries and 2nd birthday," captioned Terence.
However, two weeks after giving birth to Milla, doctors discovered that she had a growth in her stomach and unexpectedly developed hernia - an abdominal bulge caused by tissue pushing through the wall of muscle that's holding it in. The little girl underwent two separate surgeries after two months and spent close to three weeks in the hospital recuperating. Fortunately, both surgeries went well.
