Gabriel was delivered into the loving arms of his new Mom Mary on Sunday afternoon. Of course she was not allowed to have Gabriel unless he accepted her as his. Gabriel , tired from his journey looked up at Mary and gave her several precious ferret kisses.. so it was sealed. A new home for Gabriel and a new life. Mary has taken Gabriel for his first doctors visit. They have him continuing on anti-inflammatories to alleviate swelling on the spinal cord. He has also started a hydro therapy program ( water therapy) to help build up muscles in the legs and lower back. We are ever hopeful that in time he will be able to regain some use of his hind quarters. I will happily update the readers on Gabriel's progress... I am sure in time his new mom Mary will also drop a note. For the time being he is keeping pretty busy resting, and rehabilitating. Thanks to all who have assisted us thus far in Gabriel's plight. Shelter Dad and I have started building the commemorative buttons and they will be in the mail over the weekend. Fondly in ferrets, Alicia a shelter Mom [Posted in FML issue 1849]
