Hello all, I haven't posted before ( I guess I'm called a "Lurker" my daughter tells me) I enjoy the FML, the card exchange and the opportunities the FML offers. I just wanted to thank everyone who e-mailed me (my sister actually, but she forwarded all the good wishes) and sent all the good thoughts and energy to us. HE'S HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are so happy...we almost lost him because there always seemed to be a logical explaination for his behavior/symptoms. Then he had gotten very bad very fast, I'm sure I wouldn't have had him today, if I had not taken him in. They did the surgery on Friday, and he is home today. He was SO happy to see me...I couldn't believe how he jumped into my arms almost, and stayed there snuggling,,,he didn't even want to get down to mess with the clinic computer.!! You can almost hear him saying I'm home, Yeah!! Thank you all again, it was very scary on Friday especially when the Dr. called after surgery and said "Well, he made it through surgery". That meant to me that the next few hours would tell the story. He was very weak. They had him on IV fluids. The Dr's are amazing that they can do such wonderful work on such a small animal. Well, as usual the ferrets have inspired a short poem...if this is too long a post let me know... Remember, I am no poet. I try tho.... HE'S HOME He made it home! He made it home! We get another snuggle We get more sweet looks We get another hug We get lots more dooks. We get another shower With his face around the curtain We get to have him here now & That's for certain. He gets to smell, touch, see & hear all the wonders of home---HE'S BACK!! He gets to snuggle way down deep in his favorite sleep sack He gets to eat more Yogies and He gets to play with Billy He gets to run around and just act silly. We get to have him back We cherish every day Thank you all for the part you chose to play. Jan, Jim,Billy Boobika, Rambo & little Snowflake [Posted in FML issue 4857]
