Kata drank today!! it was amazing. she’s drunk nothing for weeks. We had to dip sugar cane in milk and feed her drop by drop. A couple more days and she would be dead. Then she woke up this morning and drank a whole bottle full of milk!! It was like she suddenly decided she would live and now here she is, eating, drinking and putting weight back on her skinny little bones. I was so happy I almost started crying.

Now Lomela has her amoeba and is sick, but Mama Henriette says Lomela can afford to lose a little weight because she eats and drinks all day long.

Hi, I forgot to ask this over at you blog … is Lomela taking the same meds for amoebas that Kata took, and does she also need the IV drip? Does she eat at all while she has the amoebas?

Most excellent news…are these amoebas contagious??? And Lomela will really be ok too?

SO great to hear from you Vanessa!!!

What a relief!!!! The photos are beautiful and the one with milk pouring down Kata’s belly is my new screen saver.
I hope Lomela recovers quickly and that it doesn’t spread to anyone else. Big hugs to both babies. If anyone from LYB is reading, can someone please tell me if you are registered with the IRS and what is the official name they recognize???

Lordy, what happened to all the other photos in the blog?

This is great news, Kata is just so cute!

Hi girls,

yes, the amoebas are extremely contagious, and since kata and lomela are always together, it’s not surprising lomela picked them up.

and yes, even though she must feel really sick - nothing can keep lomela away from her food!

is there a problem with the pics? will ask WD

It is a relief to hear that Lomela still has her appetite. Lisa, California

VOTE LOLAYABONOBO! I have submitted all of the info required by SearchKindly. As soon as I know when we will be in the running, I will post info. Hopefully, we can repeat what was done for WLD.
So glad to hear that Lomela is fairing well.

Cathy, thank you for all of your hard work getting LYB in the polls at SearchKindly. Yes, let us know and we will vote, vote, vote. Lisa, California

Hi Everyone, I just heard from Syed. LYB will be in the running either November 1st or mid-November. He says the list of charities is short so he’s fairly certain it will be November. We will not know what part of the month until they are actually listed on SearchKindly. I will check SK on November 1st and let everyone know.
We might also want to nominate another charity for December?!

FROM VANESSA’S BONOBO BLOG:
“WD peeps, i’m not sure what will be happening but i’ve asked for photos and updates to be sent to me in french and i can translate. i hope i can do it remotely.”

p.s. — it looks like she is travelling for a few weeks, so it may be a while.

Sheryl — I can still see all the photos on the blog…
