“After 19 hours of the most excruciating pain, they finally put down their report. “Theirs not Mine”
#Peritonitis. I finally get a minute to check on you all. Well! Here’s my update. Please, Keep Me in your prayers, that’s all I ask.”
Matilda shared this diagnosis two days after she and her siblings celebrated their father, Prof. Thomas Duncan, who turned 90 on Saturday.
