12 Days on Oxygen: How Elijah Survived Severe Respiratory Illness

Elijah was three months old when he was admitted to Bweyale. He couldn’t nurse, was lethargic, and had a high fever. Initially misdiagnosed with malaria elsewhere, Bweyale’s team diagnosed bronchopneumonia and acute bronchitis.

Elijah spent 12 days on oxygen, receiving antibiotics and IV fluids. Slowly, he recovered—and was discharged in good condition. His parents were overjoyed. “Thank you for saving our baby,” they said.
