I found the fabric a week earlier at a yard sale for a $1.00 a yard. It has helped him sit up more when he wants to. He will be in the cast until the 17th of July. We are hoping everything heals quickly.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7r9YWfDsnu4/Sj6s40Mzr0I/AAAAAAAAAKg/ArPzNHCr1Ro/s1600-h/DSCN2727.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7r9YWfDsnu4/Sj6s40Mzr0I/AAAAAAAAAKg/ArPzNHCr1Ro/s320/DSCN2727.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349903499447742274" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7r9YWfDsnu4/Sj6tQNgvTCI/AAAAAAAAAKo/Odnx0J2sowI/s1600-h/DSCN2730.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7r9YWfDsnu4/Sj6tQNgvTCI/AAAAAAAAAKo/Odnx0J2sowI/s320/DSCN2730.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349903901379218466" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3029191977442727072-5921211153630820555?l=vernalgrandma.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Grandma and Grandpanoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3029191977442727072.post-60274531875663067402009-05-23T17:58:00.000-07:002009-05-23T18:00:31.537-07:00I want to make a million different projects and not finish any.
