SLIDE 36

One of the problems that Kumari had was because the amount of milk she was getting was limited, she didn’t get the initial immune bodies that she needed in Mom’s milk in the first couple of days. We didn’t know this till about day 10, when we took a blood sample from Kumari and found her immune system was not functioning the way it should.

She also had developed a urinary infection, which was literally life threatening. So fortunately, through great foresight of our veterinary staff, we had collected 21 units of blood from Shanthi, the mother, which we had available for just this situation. It was run off, and we had some folks volunteer their time and concentrate the gamaglobulin immune bodies from the mother’s blood, and we were able to infuse Kumari with that and literally that saved her life.

She began to gain weight right after that infusion of antibodies, and started thrive. Okay.
