A Kenyan woman has narrated how tough her life become since conceiving and consequently delivering her youngest child, now aged 4 years.
Speaking to KTN News on Wednesday, April 29, Nasra Mohammed, who lives in a camp after floods destroyed her homestead in Garissa, disclosed that not even doctors have been able to unravel what her son is suffering from.
The toddler's legs are paralysed and her breathing is irregular but doctors have ruled out any existing conditions including asthma.
Mohammed revealed that after conceiving her son, she constantly felt pain until the day she delivered.

"This issue began while I was still pregnant. My body hurt me a lot until nine months later when I delivered. At first, the child was not breathing and was taken to an Incubator where he spent 2 months.
"The doctors did not see any problem with him. When we were discharged, we invited a religious person and they also told us they did not see any issue," stated Mohammed.
After the baffling experience, the family returned their newborn to hospital but the doctor maintained that they could not identify any problem with him.
"The doctor told us that they were not diagnosing any disease and discharged us. The problem he has, is his legs and chest.
"His breathing is problematic. We thought he was asthmatic but the hospital told us he was not. The legs are so straight and cannot bend," she added.
She also disclosed that she was distressed due the contrast of a her child to a neighbour's child born healthy at about the same time.
Another family member claimed that the always looked troubled and that he had never laughed or smiled since he was born.
