Last Saturday, we received Matron. Her grandparents and relative,Ian - the dentist arrived with Matron. Matron's 17 year old mom had been fighting a very large ulcer on her breast and it wasn't healing. It was larger than a toonie and deep. She needed to stop lactating in order to qualify for surgery. Today, she's in Livingstone either getting surgery or just recovering from it. Meanwhile, Matron - back at the farm here was not happy for the first part of the week as she was going through quick withdrawl from breastfeeding to a crummy bottle loaded with cowbell formula. Sorry, Cowbell company! But...she's coming through it and we're now seeing her smile. She came to us at 10.7 kg at 7 months of age! We will only keep her as long as mom is recovering - so about a month or two. No longer. Family are all aware and will keep us posted on how the mom is doing.
