Baby Kata looks so good compared to Lomela, it’s easy to forget what she’s been through.

She has lacerations on her groin where the cord she was tied with cut into her. And there’s a little bare patch on her arm where the cord left scarring.

Also, she’s not drinking any milk. It must have been quite a while since her mother died since she completely rejects the bottle. Also, she’s really skinny and pale under her hair. Her spirits seem good, but we hope she starts drinking milk soon. It’s hard for babies her age to survive without it.

Lomela on the other hand is eating and drinking like crazy. Seriously, mama Henriette says all Lomela does is eat, drink and poop. We were celebrating for a while but now Crispin the vet, is worried. Lomela’s stomach, which was deflating a little from malnutrition is now completely hard from so much food.

Still, Lomela and Kata have become friends. They sleep together at night with their arms around each other.

But I still haven’t heard either of them laugh…
