Lumamba means warrior in Tonga. He arrived on December 16 and is from Belile area - about 65 km. out of Kalomo. I'd met his parents shortly after his birth in September. His mom has TB that has progressed to the point where she was extremely weak and thin and just not able to care for Lumamba. You can see from the photo that his "gills" are swollen. I've taken him to the clinic now a few times - given him 5 days of Penicillin I/M and now he's started on TB treatment a few days ago as the swelling of his glands are a sign of TB. As well he is wheezing all the time and his chest xray that was locally done showed some shadows in his lungs - although the quality of x-ray was poor.
He is 3 1/2 months old and weighs in at 4.1 kg - smaller than he should be. But....good things - he has appetite and can still smile sweetly!
