Kacheek
A lot of the patients who come to the hospital are so worn, that their people opt to recover them (like Pojo a few weeks ago). But sometimes the humans love the well worn look and just want to reinforce their stuffed friend. So then, we line them in new fabric to reinforce them from the inside, and stitch their wounds shut to the lining. This was the case for Kacheek.
Kacheek is tiny! 4x4x1.5 inches. Here are his diagnosis photos:
For lining, stuffing has to come out, which means it needs to be replaced because it won't go back in the same, so usually lining patients have a spa too, since they're already unstuffed.
Kacheek was so small, his bubble bath photo ended up too blurry to share, but he did get a bath! Then he was lined, and got restuffed. Of course, he got a heart of original stuffing too. :-)
You can see his lining peaking through there.
And here he is all better! Fully lined and wounds repaired
You can see the lining shows where he had larger holes, but it is a texture match to his original fabric, and a color match to the original color, so will age to blend very well.
He put his shirt back on before he went home:
His person wrote:
Looks fantastic! I'm happy to see him all better and still smiling like I remember.
Kacheek's family was local, so he got picked up and went home in their arms.
