Afe Babalola Multi-System Hospital, Ado-Ekiti (AMSH) has made this year’s Christmas merry for the family of the Sodeindes by restoring the sight of their 13-year saxophonist-daughter and student of Greater Tomorrow Secondary School, Ado-Ekiti, Precious Oluwatamilore Sodeinde, through another successful brain surgery.
Oluwatamilore’s painful journey started in March when she noticed that her sight has been impaired and she could not tolerate much light, a development which saw her being taken to various hospitals where she was diagnosed with glaucoma after series of tests. It was one of the hospitals that referred her to AMSH for a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and the subsequent removal of a tumuor, the cause of impairment of her sight.
