Mercy’s Battle with Illness
Mwangi shared that Mercy had been battling blood clots in her abdomen for two years. Despite her illness, she continued to work, entertain, and smile. Her condition required constant medical attention, and she was frequently hospitalized at Nairobi Hospital.
A Risky Pregnancy
The couple had been trying to have a baby for eight years. Three months after her diagnosis, Mercy found out she was pregnant.
