Merry Christmas everyone. Thank you for all the wonderful responses to my letter about my autistic son and his miraculous reation to our new baby ferrets. It has been a while and things are going wonderfully. Sean helps us do ferret duties... and has gone beyond the call of duty and started vacuuming. Ok, this is a child who still doesn't have an inkling as to how to brush his hair, but he learned to vacuum. Haha....typical of autism to have the spiking abilities and disabilities. We have had a horrible flu go through our home. My husband came down with pneumonia. Little Sean skipped about healthy as a horse telling us to "not breath our sick breath on him and the ferrets". He was wonderful in helping us feed them, etc as we were sick and afraid to touch them. I wish you all could hear Sean chatter to them endlessly and hear the belly laughs that erupt from him in this home. I can't wait until Christmas day with the paper, ribbons, boxes, and ferrets dancing all about my boy with belly giggles. I want to thank Kat for a the generous, and loving gift of a page dedicated to my son and our ferrets and the Christmas miracle that ensued in this household. Go visit the sight to see Sean, the ferrets, the story, and hear his laugh. Go on......... take a look... it is gorgious! http://www.geocities.com/Petsburgh/2396/sean.html Have a very ferrety Christmas! Wolfy [Posted in FML issue 2902]
