Jocelyn's first major surgery {don't panic, Mom, it's not what you think}

My apologies if the post title freaked anyone out. 

Jocelyn didn't have surgery. She performed it.

Most could call it "sewing" or "mending," but Jocelyn takes her stuffed animals very seriously.

We noticed this morning that the seams were separating in Teddy's leg. Or, if you'd believe Jocelyn, he had "a giant gash," and we could see "all his bones" (or, as it was, stuffing). She immediately asked when we could do surgery.

Granted, silky purple pajamas aren't a surgeon's usual attire. She considered changing into her dress-up scrubs and surgeon's cap, but the comfort of her "silkies" won out.

She had a steady hand, even though it was her first surgical procedure. And Teddy was a very stoic patient, without any pain meds. (I was directed to hold his hand the entire time.)

Now?

He's as good as new, with a bit of pink thread for style.
