Who remembers Mondo? He was one of Riley's monkey friends - a favorite Hanukkah gift from Aunt Patricia and Uncle James last year - who sang so much that he ran out of batteries. Sadly, he had a very particular shelf-life because there was no compartment where you could change out his battery. So there he hung, silent but still smiling.
Enter Zee... with a degree in grandparenting and pediatrics, he put Mondo on the operating table to see what could be done.
At first, it wasn't pretty, and we didn't know how Mondo would take such a challenging procedure, but Dr. Zee worked with a skilled hand and a parent's love and Mondo came out singing and smiling!
I would call this a success all around! Thanks Dr. Zee!

A miraculous recovery! Mondo is on his feet again (his tail, actually). Hooray!
thanks Dr. Zee for a life saving surgery! We are glad our Mondo lives on!
Glad the "surgery" was a success and Mondo is alive and well. While the surgery had its moments of technical difficulties (got my finger tied in one of the sutures); I found that stiff concentration and keeping my mind on the goal served as a significant push for success. Just glad it was a good outcome. Hope Riley enjoys Mondo's song (and you don't get tired of it).
Love,
Zee
