Every parent has probably witnessed their children occasionally get eye infections.
However, Michelle Saaiman discovered something horrific when she examined her son’s eye more closely.
A heartbreaking tale of a little child who got herpes in his cornea from a kiss and is now facing the horrifying prospect of losing his eye has surfaced.
Witnessing their child suffer from something they never anticipated is every parent’s worst nightmare.
Michelle Saaiman, from Namibia, noticed something peculiar in her 16-month-old son, Juwan’s eye in August, initially thinking it was just an eye infection.
However, once the condition worsened and antibiotic drops failed, a physician verified the unthinkable: Juwan had contracted herpes simplex virus (HSV).
