Update on Earl and a new dress


Earl has had kind of a rough week. He hasn't been able to sleep much at night but he does sleep during the day. He was quite sick yesterday. The skin on his legs from the knees down, does not have much elasticity so when they swell, the skin splits open. He has open sores on one leg from the swelling. We took him to Wound Care at the hospital yesterday. They said that we were able to get it in time and has not gotten infected. He has been hospitalized twice because we let them go too long before. He has his CT scan on Monday to check on his liver and then Tuesday we have an appointment with the radiologist to determine the next step.


Earl's sister has genorously paid for us to be able to visit his family this Christmas in Seattle. We are very excited to visit family that we have not seen in a couple of years.


I made this dress for Earl's daughter as a halloween costume. I am really pleased at the way that it turned out. We copied the trim from a different style dress that was much more complicated to make than this one.
