DJ Krowbar: Some days we cry because we are so beaten

Popular DJ Krowbar celebrated his wife Wanjiru Karumba as she turned a year older in a special way. Krowbar disclosed that his wife was diagnosed with Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) in April.

"Today is my wife's birthday. This is the most special birthday I have ever had with her. Reason being; this could have ended differently. Some of you might know but for those who don't know; here we go. Unfortunately in April this year my wife was diagnosed with Acute Kidney Injury. In layman terms this means her kidneys are functioning below 15 per cent and we began a journey that took many weeks for us to accept the sad reality; dialysis."

He went on to add that his wife remains optimistic she will beat the disease.

"If we hadn't gone to the hospital the day we went today would have been a different story. So, for the last seven months we have followed the instructions from medical practitioners as we faith in the rest of this journey. It has not been easy; other days we laugh till we cry, other days we cry because we are so beaten. All in all, @wanjiru_karumba and I chose to be optimistic, hopeful and courageous, taking one step at a time.

"Babe, I am glad we are together in this storm; we are in the fire but God has covered us with grace so we don't smell like smoke. And another thing babe, I am convinced one day, this season will be a testimony for many to be encouraged out there."

He also asked his fans to keep his wife in their prayers.

"So, today I ask you to speak a word in faith over my wife's health as we celebrate her birthday. We believe in prayers; more so prayers from the community of believers. Two or three can put flight to 10,000. Happy Birthday Babe! To many more, another great year begins."

Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is a disease caused by reduced blood flow to the kidneys, and often attacks someone who is already unwell with another health condition and whose immunity is compromised.
