Hello All, I just wanted to give a quick update on Brodie. I am sooo happy to report how wonderful he is doing. As of Friday night he started to take his first few steps, he could go 3-4 steps before he fell. I also exercise him with a s mall towel under his belly to support back legs, it is very cute. As of today he can go around ten steps before he gets to tired to move, so he rests and gets moving again. I am so happy for him. And though I am still up every two hours to check on him he can now eat a soft mix of food by himself. I keep the constant watch because you never know how quickly these guys can slip back to so sick a gain especially one like Brodie. Boy he is so sweet, gives lots of kisses. I am bringing him in Tuesday for a wieght check and blood work and hope his liver values are down. Now I hope in a few weeks he can find a loving home, I think he needs one that is kind of quiet and not to many ferrets, I plan to bring one of my old ladies up after his check up if all is well Tuesday to see how he does. He is one I would love to keep we have a bond, but with 38 now i should find him a home. Right now many of you know he has run of my guest bedroom. But boy he is a love,my 3 year old daughter loves to carry him around in this beautiful soft blanket a FML member made him. I am not sure if you want me to post your name but you know who you are, and thank you he loves the soft blankie so much. It is so cute the first few days I had to feed him every hour so if I had to go to the store, etc, we bundled him up and put him in my daughters doll carriage and she pushed him were ever we went, petsmart, store. Rhiannon has really helped him heal I think, nothing like a childs love, I hate to boast but I am very proud of her, only 3 years old and more caring than most adults. She even wanted to give her piggy bank money to save him, but I just told her I took some :-) . well thank you all for your support, I will update you after his Tuesday checkup lets hope for good blood work. Since I can not get the format disk for my digital computer, ferret food is more important, I plan to mail his picture to all who donated to his cause, Dr. Labondes gave me a list, but you might e-mail your address over so I make sure I have it right, I really would like you to see a before and after picture. Plus if anyone has a way to post a picture and would for FMLers let me know and I will send a couple of him for everyone to see. Stephanie [Posted in FML issue 4145]
