(thank goodness Marc was on vacation; he'd gone back to the boats when was 7 weeks old) Late late at night, when all the kids were asleep, the parents of all the kids on ward would gather in the lounge and chat. There were a LOT of kids on ward then; there was an RSV outbreak. ANYWAY, the parents of the boy across the hall from had a HORRIBLE time getting their son to take the mists and such - he was about 4, and would kick and fight and scream and yell, causing himself to stop breathing...and so on... One night, the couple told us that their boy was autistic. Well, I WORSHIPPED them. I looked at my baby, and I looked at that 4 year old across the hall, and I thought, " How the hell do they DO it? " Now I know. Now I also know how they always seemed to love him SO MUCH. :-) Jacquie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
