Plushie Dreadfuls - Chiari Malformation Bunny - Plush Stuffed Animal

 Symbolism:

The Chiari Malformation Bunny also features Jupiter/Tin symbols on its ears to represent breathing difficulties, a common symptom. The intricate ear patterns hint at the dizziness and disorientation that can accompany Chiari Malformations. Additionally, the swirls on its hands and feet highlight the struggle with poor coordination, and a heart pocket on the front symbolizes heart-related symptoms that often impact sufferers.

The zipper is functional and can be opened to reveal a small pouch space inside the head. The zipper symbolizes decompression surgery and spinal fusion to the neck collar for neck pain

IMPORTANT NOTE Regarding the design of our health-related Plushie Dreadfuls. We take the topics of health and health awareness seriously. That's why our design team only creates plushies related to health issues with which they have direct experience. In cases where our team does not have direct experience, we assemble an external team of experts to help guide our creative process. In addition, we use Crowd Design to engage a wide range of voices via platforms like Instagram and Facebook. We gather and respond to feedback from our audience - many of whom have direct experience with the health issues we're exploring. And while we strive to represent as many aspects of a particular health issue as possible while avoiding stereotypical symptoms, we hope you understand that plush toys as an artistic medium do limit the full expression of a particular issue to those things that can be crafted in fabric and stitching. 

Higgy Bears are special stuffed animals made specifically for scoliosis patients. They wear matching mini scoliosis braces for kids and teens that brace, and have scars down their backs for those that have had surgery. Founder and Scoliosis Warrior Lauren Higginson, started Higgy Bears so that every child with scoliosis can have a little friend going through the same thing, just in bear form. Higgy Bears are donated to kids all over the world! To date, 35,000 Higgy Bears have made their way to kids in 165 countries. In addition to providing free Higgy Bears, Lauren also hosts an annual convention Higgy Con where scoliosis families come together for three days of fun, love and support. She also runs Higgy Zooms for kids, teens and parents to connect virtually and has nearly 50 Higgy Friends Groups throughout the US and Canada where families can meet in person and support one another.
