“Thank you for your comforting messages and prayers as my family and I try to come to terms with God’s will. Lion fell from the living room sofa while playing and injured his head, causing convulsions. We rushed him to the nearest medical center, Metropolitan Hospital, where a CT scan showed internal bleeding in the head. He was taken into surgery for three hours, and the operation was successful,” Lion shared with Mpasho.
However, Lion disclosed that his son’s condition did not improve after the surgery. Due to brain swelling from the injury, he was admitted to the ICU.
“Because of the nature of the injury, his brain began to swell. He was kept in the ICU, with doctors hoping the swelling would subside. Unfortunately, the injury was too severe, and he was declared clinically brain-dead. His life was being supported by machines,” Lion explained.
