This afghan was made by Chad's mom, Cathy. It's made up of squares that are crochet together. Nurses, visitors and even the dietician constantly commented on how pretty it was. Chad explained that he liked it "because I can poke my big toe through one of the holes and that keeps it down and my feet covered." What a good use for those holes!
The 2nd IV Mom had was in her arm by her elbow. As the bag of fluid would drip, it would beep and stop dripping every time she bent her arm. Do you know how many times you bend your elbow a day? Many! And at night-- even more. That darn machine beeped all night long. Finally, one night, she decided to try Chad's trick. She laid on her side and poked her thumb through one of the holes. With her thumb "stuck," she didn't bend her arm the rest of the night. What a way to get some shut-eye!
