Mariam, Namaganda's eldest daughter and firstborn, was just 2 months old when she began to have convulsions, and the family tried to look for medications but not much treatment was found. It was only when Mariam was seven to 10 years of age, that the community members warned Namaganda to not "neglect that daughter, because you may think it is convulsion, but when it is not convulsion, it may even result into epilepsy." The fear of it becoming epilepsy immediately prompted Namaganda and her husband to seek care at a neighboring health facility and start taking medication. However, soon the medication ran out and they didn't get her another dosage; eventually they resorted to traditional help:"Fortunately she recovered but it remained on her eyes and could attack her eyes; maybe when she is talking and she keeps quiet."
