Since the surgery could not be carried out in Machakos, doctors recommended she be moved to Kenyatta National Hospital for the specialised treatment. Fortunately, there was a team of visiting doctors from India who managed to carry out the surgery in an attempt to save her from the harrowing ordeal of having to spend the rest of her life confined to a wheelchair. By that time, her farther Mohammed Jabir (now deceased) was working for the East African Portland Cement at Athi River. As a result, the family was able to foot the cost of the delicate operation through the health insurance scheme that was offered by the company. After the operation, Mwikali had to go through countless therapy sessions to try nursing the limbs back to normal. In 1997, she was moved from Nairobi to Machakos to continue with the treatment at the advice of the father who had by then retired from his job. Today Mwikali pays glowing tribute to the assistance, encouragement and love her father extended during those trying moments. She strongly believes that were it not for the efforts of her late father, she would probably be dead or worse off today. For instance, it was her father who vehemently opposed ensure I learn to use my legs,” she says. Eventually, Mwikali says, the high staked gamble finally worked. Up to date she has never used a wheel chair and instead gives out the equipment to others whenever she receives a donation. For Mwikali, her present against plans to put her on a wheelchair claiming the move would only worsen her condition and eventually render her permanently dependent on others. He argued that every effort should be employed to ensure the girl learnt to use both her limbs and in time learn how to walk. “My father came out fighting against proposals to purchase a wheelchair for my use. He told off anyone who was for the idea and stated categorically that his daughter will never use the equipment but he would do all he could to situation is a blessing in disguise meant to give others hope in the midst of despair. Her struggles through school saw her step from one agonising ordeal to another. Yet every step right from nursery, primary and high school was a learning opportunity for her. Like the legendary Sphinx rising from the ashes, Mwikali kept overcoming high odds that fate appeared to have placed along her path right after she was born. She vividly remembers a day her mother broke down in front of an insensitive clerk who wanted to turn them away when she was taken to Muslim Primary School to join class six. The clerk on seeing Mwikali being carried on her mother’s back told her to take her to the Machakos School for the Disabled as the institution did not admit pupils with special needs. But her father had vowed that his daughter would never study in a Special School as she was not mentally retarded, a decision that would nevertheless come with its fair share of disappointments.
