Nancy and Japheth Mutai's ailing son started having complications at six months. He would frequently faint, was emaciated, had pale skin and delayed growth milestones.
Medics in Nandi and Uasin Gishu counties said Boaz Korir was malnourished and advised better nutrition on which the Mutais spent over Sh200,000 but their child's condition got worse and the skin turned bluish.
"After conducting tests, doctors at Tenwek Mission Hospital told us that he had a hole in the heart. He also had a condition called Tetralogy of Fallot," Nancy says and adds that their son is recuperating without any complications.
