It has been a while since I wrote last in We Are Alive Tribe not that I don't love this chain but because of some circumstances beyond my control. 2 months ago I mentioned about some members of my family with health challenges. Every other person recovered but my brothers wife health changed again. This time was brain tumor and goiter. It wasn't easy for us to bear as the money that was involved was much.

The doctor said that goiter has set to be removed. He also said it was toxic goiter and it is too dangerous. For the first week, my brothers wife refused the operation because she was so much afraid. But second week she accepted to go for the operation. She told me to stay by her side during the operation. But I had a client that was so sick whom I couldn't leave behind. It became so difficult for me to handle the situation.

I prayed for God to save her life. Her operation was successful but she went into coma after few hours of the operation. It was like play but it lasted for 2 days and 2 days on oxygen too. My friends, it was difficult days for all members and friends in the family.

Imagine going to Aba as if it is not far from Uyo. Finally she woke up. But as of the time of making this post. She cannot talk still. You will bath her, feed her and do everything. This her health condition has affected her husband mentally. Honestly, the doctor had to admit him for 3 days to rest. We spent over half a million naira in the hospital and still spending.

Right now, I am making calls to get a product recommend for her brain. I know God will help her to recover but how He will do it. I don't know yet. One big challenge we have now is that the doctor said she would come for brain tumor operation next month . That is September, I am kicking against it because she has not fully recovered from goiter operation and He want to operate her again. So confused about everything.

My plan for the week despite difficult time

My Monday was great as I spoke with my brother on phone and he assured me that His wife will be okay. Tuesday I took care of a client that is on treatment. Tomorrow Wednesday, my work in the office will start from morning as I am working hard to cover some space over the week.

On Thursday, I will go to Nsit Atia to visit a chief who want me to come and give health talk to his community. Then on Friday, I will attend a workshop which will take 3 hours. All this and many more is what am going to do this week.

In conclusion I will strive hard to be active on Hive as usual despite difficult times. The only challenge am having now is time and condition. I have missed my children so much because I have not been steady. With God's help, am going to do better this month. I have not been following my target nor my yearly plan again. In all, may God be with you all
