Shockingly Sad: Agony of a 21-Month Old Baby Losing Both Eyes


When baby Favour Adam-Umoh was born 21 months ago into the Family of Mr. and Mrs. Blessing Adams, Favour appeared normal as a growing baby and there was nothing unpleasant about her health, particularly her eyes to raise any suspicion that something was remarkably wrong with her sight. But six months later, the signs began to manifest.
The state of her health then may have spured her parents to name her Favour – a gift bestowed as a token of goodwill, kind regard, love by God.
But, today, Favour is struck with a strange eye disease which medical doctors at the Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital, Nnewi, confirmed to be congenital glaucoma.

Presently, Favour with bulging of the right eye which is now affecting the left eye, further medical examination revealed that the baby has cancer of the eye.
According to her doctors, if there is no urgent medical intervention, poor Favour will lose her both eyes. The parents have been going from pillar to post, looking for solution but all efforts to help baby Favour have proved abortive.

All the way from Onitsha, her mother, Blessing Adam came to Lagos recently in search of  a miracle that could help transform the condition of her baby girl.
The 28-year-old mother was advised to seek further solution in a faith based institution by a friend. So, she went to the TB Joshua’s Synagogue church of all nations in Lagos.
