Weighing only 800g at birth, baby Amanda’s health condition left her mother anxious, particularly about her survival chances. The girl born at 29 weeks looked weak and in distress. She was shortly moved to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at the Kenyatta National Hospital.
Jane Nyokabi, her mother, had developed high blood pressure, speeding up the delivery of her third-born.
Amanda was placed on oxygen (which when not balanced causes all problems related to a newborn’s sight) but within a week her weight dropped to 600g. But gradually, she added weight and was moved to the Kangaroo unit to boost her growth.
