My cleaning lady brought her son with her the last time because she didn't have a babysitter (I said it was all right). He has spina bifida with brain complications. He'd ask questions and I'd start to answer and then he was gone. The light was out of his eyes. He's about eight or nine and asked why the cats' eyes shine, but didn't hear my answer. When he asked what my flower clock was, I said "What do you think it is?" and he asked if it exploded. As I started to say no, and explain, he was gone. He can focus about two minutes, but then there's nothing in his eyes for a bit. He's pretty good at using his wheelchair, though.
