Urgent major surgery was required

Or – The Nine Lives of Charlie Bear

 

He received emergency first aid treatment at the scene of the accident

before being transported to the ER for evaluation.

Hmmm. “ I believe this is a life threatening injury.  Immediate surgery is required, with a 50% chance of survival.”

Straight to the Operating Room (aka Gran’s sewing room), where he  received life saving surgery involving many stitches to repair the damage.

A final check up before being released into the care of his owner.  Prognosis – very hopeful that he has made a full recovery but it wont be known until he has spent a few more weeks with

Charlie, who was thrilled to see his Charlie Bear come back home before bedtime, even though he wore a bandage around his head.  ‘

The patient has been warned – no more getting caught between the springs on the trampoline.

Charlie had his birthday party today, complete with a replica of Charlie Bear as his birthday cake.

My last OPAM finish for May, as well as a finish for Sew Its Finished,  is this doll blanket, which I started about 16 years ago.  The full story of why it has taken so long is on Sew Its Finished.
