Cobhams Asuquo’s Wife reveals their son was born blind.
Wife of famous talented pianist, Cobhams Asuquo, Ojuolape Veronica Asuquo has courageously revealed that her first son, David Asuquo was born blind which was not known until four months after he was born.
The couple got married in the US, welcomed their first child a year later and then months after he was born it was diagnosed that he was blind, even after series of tests in and out of the country, the result still proved positive to blindness. According to Mrs. Asuquo, the blindness of her son has made her faith in God stronger after much doubts at first.
Her words:
“The elephant in the room in my life in the past six years is pretty much… So, I got married, and we got pregnant. My pregnancy was fantastic, I didn’t even know I was pregnant, found out I was pregnant, still wasn’t sure I was pregnant because I didn’t have any symptoms.
“Everything was so smooth. And then fast forward to four months after my son was born and the doctor was like ‘his eyes are not following’ and I was like, ‘What do you mean he’s not following?’
“And then suddenly, as a mother, your heart just starts palpitating.”
David Asuquo, 7, is also a pianist just like his famous father Cobhams Asuquo.
