Nigerian musician Kefee has been reported to be in a coma after she collapsed on a long haul flight to the US from Nigeria. Her plane had an emergency stop at Los Angeles where she was transferred to the hospital. She has been in a coma since, and it is getting to a week with her condition still not stable. Now new reports say the gospel crooner has been diagnosed as having pre-eclampsia – pregnancy induced high blood pressure.
According to the Tribune; their source said that
“Kefee surely did not know that she had a high blood pressure before she embarked on the long trip and suddenly went into coma in the air. That she is pregnant has made her situation dicey, so she will need a miracle to survive, a doctor told me”
A medical doctor in Nigeria, Dr Adeyefa, shedding more light on Kefee’s condition, said
“Kefee is in a precarious situation because of the six months pregnancy. If the foetus had been nine months, the doctors would have removed the baby and saved the mother and child. As it is now, not only will the baby not survive because the carrier is in coma, Kefee may also lose her life from further complications. The chances of the mother surviving is narrow, while the kid has a narrower chance. I urge Nigerians to pray for her for a miracle because that is what she really needs,”
Her husband, Teddy Don-Momoh, confirmed the downward turn in her health by calling for prayers for her from Nigerians. Kefee’s publicist, said in an offical statement that Teddy made the plea from the United States of America where his wife is still under intensive care at a Los Angeles hospital. The statement by the publicist quoted Teddy as saying;
“Kefee wants her friends, fans and well-wishers to know that she loves them. We just need prayers now. She needs our prayers because there is nothing God can not do. Prayer is the key.”
On RML we have blogged about pre-eclampsia twice before, when it was a storyline on Downtown Abbey and when it was reported that Kim Kardashian had her baby delivered early to avoid pre-eclampsia.
We're fervently praying that Kefee overcomes this with her baby. Amen.
I say amen to your prayers too Myne.. I pray that she and her baby survive in Jesus name
ReplyDeletePraying for her too.

DeleteProteins are the building blocks of a human body. it helps to grow skin, nail, hair and internal organs. next to water, protein is the most plentiful substance in the body. hence it’s required for pregnant woman to take more proteins, which helps for the growth of the baby. hence 150 grams of protein to be taken by a pregnant woman.
