Melissa, Noodle will adjust.  Remember how visual 'Chopper the Organic
Helicopter was -- she was even one of the rare ferrets who can see blues.
At first when she started having protein accumulating in her lenses she was
very upset and confused, but then -- with love and support (of which you
provide plenty already) -- she realized that she could still be the boss,
even without her eyes, with limited hearing, and with her mobility reduced
by age.  It doesn't matter how big or fast or young any of the others are --
'Choppie is STILL the "tough" one!!!!!!!!  As long as they can smell they
are happy, so be reassured, okay (?).
