So this is April, my childhood teddy bear. This dusty, smooshed bear has been in the closet for decades and is finally gonna get a new life. She is getting a stuffing transplant.

| (Her 1970's stuffing had turned to foam dust, broken plastic lining and tiny bits of styrofoam. Toxic? Maybe.) |
Over the weekend, doctors opened her up and cleaned out her old, corroded, decomposed guts. She was then re-stuffed and gently stitched back together with loving care. It was a hairy night of surgery, but she is now resting comfortably and out of critical condition.

A survivor! Wow. What an inspirational story. Put your hands together for April the Bear!!!!!!!
