Ekemini,
the 13-year-old girl pregnant girl (pictured with Hope) who was rescued by
Danish aid worker, Anja Ringgren Loven and her husband David Emmannuel Umem,
will be undergoing a caesarean section operation because doctors discovered
that the position of her baby in the uterus is not normal. Moreover, her pelvis
is not completely developed due to her young age. Anja's post below:
"Last
week I told you about Ekemini, a 13 year old pregnant girl whoDavid Emmanuel
Umem and our team rescued and brought to DINNødhjælp/ACAEDF Childrens Home in
Nigeria.
Since
we rescue this beautiful young girl we took her to the hospital for
examination.
The
doctors discovered that the position of her baby in the uterus is not normal,
so she will not be able to deliver her baby vaginally. So next week Thursday
Ekemini will have a caesarean section operation. Besides that, because of
Ekemini´s very young age her pelvis is not completely developed so if she
deliver her baby vaginally the labour might be prolong, and where there is
prolong labour complications might set in.
As
you also know Hope is also having an operation. Hypospadias is an inborn
condition in which one has an incomplete developed urethra. Urethral meatus
opens incorrectly at various locations along the underside of the penis,
scrotum or in the perineum. The doctors found this inborn condition on Hope.
We
have been waiting a very long time for Hope to be operated, but always remember
that we are living in an area where the health system is not working as you
know it to do in the western world countries.
On
the 27 of May our nurse Rose will take Hope to see the doctor for him to make
all the necessary tests on Hope that is needed before his hypospadias
operation. And after the tests has been made a date for the operation will be
arranged.
The
caesarean operation of Ekemini and the hypospadias operation of Hope is very
expensive so if you want to help us pay for the two operations please make a
