 According to Punch this six old girl child was resqued, this is how they are reporting it

Little Miss Williams (not real name) was contending with an ailment which defied diagnosis. But when her mother read a copy of SUNDAY PUNCH, she got help for her daughter writes KAYODE FALADE

Miss Williams (not real name) looked like your typical six-year-old girl as she teased her four-year-old younger brother. The dark-skinned, petite Williams was a bundle of energy as she skipped gleefully.....  after the cut

But Williams has not always been this lively. About six weeks ago, she was bedridden and was being prepared for a surgery to save her from a life threatening ailment. Little Williams had a faulty kidney. However, before August 2014, the Williams were not aware that one of their daughter’s kidney wasn’t functioning. Several visits to public and private hospitals shed little light on William’s ailment.

According to her parents, the little girl had been contending with ill health which had defied medical explanation since a few days to her fourth birthday.

Her father, said: “Very early one morning, some few days to my daughter’sfourth birthday, my wife woke me up to talk about a dream. In it she saw that something happened to our daughter’s face. We were still in bed, when our girl walked in. Surprisingly, she started talking funny. My wife and I felt she was up to some pranks. But when she asked to be given water and she was drinking, the water was falling off from the left side of her face. The same with food. By this time, we had noticed that one side of her face was lopsided. The left side looked funny and distorted. That kicked off our travails which spanned more than two years.”

The mother, a graduate of English Language and a teacher in a government secondary school, said, “We quickly took her to a hospital where they conducted some tests. At the end of the day, we were given a damning result. Our daughter had facial palsy which means facial paralysis, the cause of which they could neither trace nor say.”

All the doctors could do then was recommend therapy. The parents took her to a private hospital, at Iyana Ipaja, another suburb of Lagos. The facility was owned and run by a consultant at a general hospital. Each therapy cost N2,000 and they had three in a week.
