A very strong, hardworking, prayerful husband, "my guy" who shares big plans for the future with me.

Life had been great with us until .....
January 2020, when a twist in life (which) changed the course of our lives started.
My Sunshine, fell sick & was diagnosed with typhoid after some tests at the hospital (which happens to be his regular illness). He was administered drugs and some drips and got back on his feet.

Before the end of the 2nd week in January 2020, he said he had to go for his check up and asked that I skip work and go with him. Because of the tone of his request, I had to seek permission from work to go with him to the hospital.

he was confirmed fine although he complained about having an unusual blurry vision. He was seen by an optician who then referred him to LASUTH for further management and investigations.
We had to go through the hassle of LASUTH, the long queue and delays.

We decided to go for the recommended scan before our turn to see the eye specialist. After the scan, he asked to rest a little before going downstairs for the results, he was so tired.
What happened after getting the results is one I will never forget quickly in my life.

My hubby slumped & stopped breathing, he was unconscious. I screamed for help and the nurses & doctors ran to my rescue.
They tried all their first aid skills, he still didn't respond. Then, someone brought in an oxygen stand with the pipe/hose but the oxygen refused to diffuse

(open up) & this is how my world began to spin fast. I couldn't stop screaming after I saw the doctors and nurses giving each other that awkward look & one of them said âmadam, we're sorry but heâs not responding to anythingâ.
At this point, all I could think of was my daughter

I heard my husband sneeze but no one believed. I kept trying again but he didnât flinch and I was beginning to doubt he ever sneezed but I didnt stop shaking him vigorously and shouting Ademi (meaning my crown) but still no response.
I had cried my eyes out buy my God ....

didnât blink or speak as much as I kept repeating his names. Then, I called our families.
On getting to the ER, we were still informed there were no vacant beds and so a doctor referred us to Gbagada General. I took my husband in a cab with his elder sister and a friend of his

We got to Gbagada General and were met with the same frustrating story of no bed then we were referred again to LUTH, Idi Araba.
We rushed to LUTH but on getting there, we were told the same thing, no bed space at the emergency unit.
I fell down crying and screaming...
