The littlest kid put up a good fight. The maggots that found a home in the umbilical cord area were screwworms. And then they found her mouth...
If you are interested in learning more about screwworms, just Google it. There's a lot of information out there. I would not recommend reading about this before a meal. Or even right after a meal, for that matter.
We put her to rest yesterday morning.
We are monitoring her brother who seems to have doubled in size since his birth two weeks ago. Umbilical good - check
Teeth awesome - check
Other areas....good - check
He has a name now. "Sonny Crockett" because he wears white so well, and has a 5 o'clock shadow (from dried milk). I'm sure Don Johnson would be thrilled to know that there is a billy goat in Uruguay named after his character....
Life goes on...
