Heartbreaking: Kenyan photographer shares touching images of his pregnant wife's final moments on earth

This will leave you in tears. A renowned Kenyan photographer, Joe Makeni shared heartbreaking  moments in images leading up to his pregnant wife's death on Instagram.

Makeni  said he shared the images so as to encourage people out there.  According to him, his wife was unable to walk on January 20th and was  taken to the hospital at Kijabe where she was admitted before she was  later transferred to Nairobi.

 

Medical tests  revealed that Njeri had hypocalcaemia, a health condition resulting from  low serum calcium levels in the blood. Below are the photos with  captions: 

Photo 1-January 20 at 4:4pm: "On this day @Njeriitho was unable to walk and so we went to  the hospital to get it checked out. Actually she couldnt control any of  her limbs"

 

Photo 2-January 27 5:55pm: "After 3  days in Kijabe we came back to a hospital in Narobi. She was sick but  she was always so full of joy. Many of us always went home more  encouraged by her."

 

Photo 3: Njeri in  hospital just a day after the evaluation. We were so broken having lost  the baby just two days prior but as always she was hiding behind a  smile. PS: I did the make-up with instruction from @saitonne and  @ngamau. Thank you so much Wangeci and Saitone for going out of your  way."

 

Photo 4: "Making gang signs all the way...hypocalcemia for what?"

 

Photo  5: "Doctors and nurses makes a spirited attempt to save Njeri's life.  There was no shortage of talent. I dont think I ve ever seen so much  doctors attend to one person. This is the part where you pray before the  procedure started."

Photo  5: February 10: "I stared at this monitor for like 30 mins hoping to see  the blood pressure shoot up. It was at 49/20 for the longest time.  That's the end of that story. Now to pick up the pieces and soldier on.  Good bye Njeri. You 'll always be in my heart."
