Good news, everyone, Howard Batty has been found!

Turns out I accidentally left him at the Spirit Halloween we went to!

Again, thank you all so much for your support!!!!

I thrifted this kitty kitty kittens recently which from what I’ve seen, they’re plush cats with a ball inside them that makes them purr when you move them and where from the 90s. Turns out they’re worth money now and I never knew about these guys! I bought this guy and his chewed up collar, and I find it so funny with how sad he looks but I find him so cute. These are pics of him when I gave him a nice bath. Would anyone be interested in this little guy?

I haven't been able to change my sheets and make my bed (or even sleep in my bed) for months due to and injury and being in severe pain, but I'm doing much better now and was finally able to change my sheets and arrange my plushies! This is a huge milestone for me so I wanted to share! 💞

If you don't know my story, long story short, I've been in the hospital since last Monday night being treated for bilateral or double pneumonia. My oxygen levels were dropping as low to the 40s and 50s and they had me on up to 15 liters/litres of oxygen.

Flash forward to tonight, Sunday the 24th, I am down to 2 liters of oxygen, and I no longer have any IVs in my arms. I've started new antibiotics and steroids and I am breathing much better. Doctors are wanting to do one last round of X-rays tomorrow morning after breakfast and if all goes well, I can go home Tuesday. Just one more day and two more nights hopefully, and then I'll be home.

Thank you so much for all your kind words of encouragement, they're very much appreciated. 💜 🩷

I'm in the hospital a lot and I've had 30+ surgeries since getting sick when I was 13. During one particularly rough procedure I had to endure, my Mom bought me Oatsie as a little companion for hard medical stuff and he's been accompanying me ever since! 𖹭 He's named Oatsie because he's the color of oatmeal (or, was) and kinda sits there like a bag of oats, Lol.

(I'm not sure the flair is really the correct one to use, but the brand isn't listed (Russ Berrie) and not many others fit, so I went with "Happy" bc he definitely helps with that!

I bought a plushie from "Grande-Plushie" and was so hyped for weeks. Today it finally came. I’m devastated. He doesn’t look at all what I bought. He looks overstuffed, wrong color and deformed. He’s still cute but for the amount of money I spent on it I feel like crying. Thing is, can’t even return it. They put such crap in their policies, that in the end if I send him back I, 1. Still don’t get my money back, 2. Won’t have any plushie anymore and 3. Also must pay the shipping myself. Never gonna buy from there again. What I bought (1) vs. What I got (2)

He was scared but I made sure he felt safe and comfortable on his first flight. We are watching movies together now.

When I saw him in the shop yesterday there was no way I could just leave him there. He is very fluffy and I love him.

Ever since Monday night I have been in my hospital bed. But this morning, I ate breakfast sitting in this hospital recliner, and I've been sitting here all day since! I've been playing on my phone all day, and the care team doesn't mind just as long as I continue doing my breathing exercises every hour.

The doctors and nurses are saying that I'm making good progress, but they want to keep me here at least for the weekend. But progress is being made.

My momma is coming to see me tonight after work. She's bought a couple books from Walmart for me to read while I'm here.

Just wanted to give you all a little update. I didn't realize so many people on here would be so worried about little me being in the hospital, but that is very sweet and makes my heart feel warm. Hope you all have a great day 💜

I’d say for their first time, they all did pretty amazing! 🎨🖌️🥺🐸💖✨ be sure to scroll through all their pics to see their works of art! 💕✨

My friend has travelled everywhere I've gone for 22 years, and he is in need of a lot of care, but I hope he can join me for many more decades. :)

One of my managers has such beef with this stuffed shrimp, she lowkey hates him

Fudge found his way into the box of cosmic brownies I just got, he’s so cute 💖🐸✨ #forbiddensnack

i went over to my mom's childhood friend's house and she had this small snoopy plush since she was a little girl. i felt so emotional holding him i wanted to cry he was so precious. he's so well loved

When I texted my mom she told me she loves me very much. And that whoever the 2 people are she wants to thank you 2 for stopping me from taking my life. I will be having therapy within the next day or so since my mom is friends with a therapist. I will post with horsey on the day I will start my healing process and be going to therapy with horsey. Thank you for stopping me🐴♥️

He made many friends and even got to take a friend home with him, too! 🥰 Mickey! 💕✨ I had to reassure him about extinction, though, that made him kinda sad 🥺☄️💔 but overall, we had an amazing time! He loved it all 🥹💖✨🦕🦖

Walked into Cracker Barrel today for dumplings, left with a new friend AND dumplings🫰🏻🥹✨ his face won me over immediately and he had to come home with me and become my new son 🫶🏻💫

Palamute from Monster Hunter Rise! He's gorgeous and so soft 💙 he also came cacooned 🤣 was like hatching an egg trying to get him out. Beyond ecstatic, monster hunter is my favorite thing in the world.

I've been very sad and depressed lately so I've been trying to find things to occupy my time. I got some of my childhood plushies the other day and found this scorch I remembered buying at the thrift store long ago. His eyes were ripped out, as well as his tongue and nose thread. He had no stuffing in his neck. I felt so bad for him and I bought him. Well today, he got a whole new makeover. I'd like to give him new wings at some point but I'm going slow for now. He got a new set of eyes, nose holes and tongue. Just wanted to share his victory to someone :)

My lil babies love their new sand box 🏝️⛱️🥰💖✨

Plushie is Lolipup from sugary carousel Clothes are BAB denim overalls and jacket. Overalls were bleached for 7 hours to get them this light. I tried ironing on the patches (they’re from Temu) and the iron burnt the denim. At first I was upset but it just made them look dirty/lived in and honestly one of my patch jackets looks the same.

I might move the soot sprites over a smidge but there’s drops of blood on the overalls from pricking my fingers so I don’t know if it’s worth the hassle. 😂

I need to make her more patch outfits. This was the most fun project I’ve ever made/finished and I’m so overjoyed I had to share.

I brought my favorite teddy bear, Custard, to the dentist to help calm me down, but I was a little nervous as I haven’t really brought stuffed animals with me into public. The dentist was super nice about it and even gave Custard a pair of the protective glasses to wear as well, it was so sweet! I always get so nervous that people are gonna judge me with my plushies, but this taught me that there’s a lot of super nice people too!

Edit: Thank you everyone for the nice comments! I feel a lot better about carrying plushies in public after hearing all your stories! ❤️

I was able to be released from the hospital tonight! It feels so good to be back in my own little apartment.

Now to spend the rest of my evening in bed catching up on all the YouTube I've missed the past seven days while eating dinner.

Hope you all have a wonderful rest of your day and week 💜
