June 23, 2011 - Nice Hair Cut

Today was a good day for Jason. He not only had some nice visitors today, he also got to spend some time with his beautiful wife and dad, AND he finally got a hair cut! He has been wanting to get a hair cut for a few weeks now, and the Marine he wanted to do the job was now available to do it. A short while back that Marine injured his foot and had to have surgery on it. The foot is now better, yet still in a brace, so he was able to come and give Jason his hair cut. On top of that, he was able to do it early enough that Jason was done before going down to the PACU. It looked like a totally different Marine, but you can see that from the pictures. I'm thinking that I should remove some of the older pictures so that there aren't too many posted, so I will ask the opinion of the folks who are reading this - Do you want me to remove some pictures or simply continue to add?

The results of his visit down to the PACU was no surprise, in that there was simply another clean out and a reapplying of the bandages. He continues to make some progress with his healing, and tomorrow he will go in for a bit more work and go in to the O.R. After tomorrow I suspect that we will have a more in depth update on his status, so you'll just have to wait until then. The only thing that didn't happen today was the visit from the doctor(s) from the National Jewish Medical Center. Apparently that has been delayed, not because of Jason, and will take place at a later date/time.

We continue to make progress with all that is going on, and we thank you all for your continued prayers. Jason is getting stronger every day and it shows in all that he does.

    Hi everyone, glad that everything is moving along niely. My vote is to take down the geese picture and post a current one of Jason and Bridgette and the kids. Is there a way to archive the older pictures so we can access them still? We'll be praying for a successful trip to the OR tomorrow Jason. Nice hair cut :)

    Hair cut looks good Jason!

    Since you asked, I vote for putting more pictures on a place like Snapfish, Picasa, Shutterfly, Flickr etc where we can see more and bigger picture and have a link to the pictures on the blog. :)

    You can add pictures into the body of posts as well and then you wouldn't have to take down any pictures. I like having ones on the side as well, but maybe you could do both. When you are creating your post there is an icon of what looks like a mountain. It's a link to add pictures. E-mail me if you want & I can try and walk you through it. Keep the pictures coming. I guess with the hair went the smile. :-) Hair cut looks great though! Jason - looking like a Marine. Keep getting better Ross!
    Love,
    Nina

I know I haven't been keeping up with the blog and posting as often as I said I would, but I guess that's what happens when the days really do start to seem more normal, and don't feel like there is much to update about. Then when there is something exciting going on, by the time I can get to the blog I'm pretty well worn out for the day and then I'm slow to get to it afterward. Well, I will continue to provide updates, as I can and we'll just have to see where it takes us. Jason's sled hockey season is over and he had a great time with it. He was not able to go to the final tournament, in Chicago, due to travel challenges. First challenge was simply getting there - there really isn't any way to get there, that doesn't simply totally wear him out, and then he needs the next day to recover. We think we may have figured out a way around this, though it actually means more travel time, rather than recovery time. We have found a van that can provide a

Again, I have no reasonable excuse other than to say I got side tracked. On the last post I mentioned that Jason had gotten injured, while playing in the hockey tournament. Well, as it turned out it was a more serious injury than either of us had suspected. The outcome was that he lost some soft tissue and a section of his pelvic bone was exposed (about the size of a quarter) and he is now required to have a wound-vac so that it can heal properly. This means that he has to spend most of his time in bed and can only be up in his chair for no more than 20 minutes at a time, and that followed by hours of rest time. The rest time is for the injury, and not necessarily for Jason, as he isn't tired. As you can imagine, he gets very board with this "life style" and wants to get up and go do something. We've been going in to wound-care frequently, once or twice each week, and they keep telling us, "...we'll take a look at it next week, to see what happens next.&quo

Happy St. Patty's Day!

To day was a good day for Jason, as they removed the breathing tube from his mouth and throat, and his medications and pain meds were lowered. All this lead to him being able to begin talking to us, and have visitors, other than from family. On top of that, Bridgette came with the girls today (she went a short time ago to go pick them up), so he'll be able to see and speak with them as well. Of course tomorrow is Friday, and he is scheduled for another surgery (I'll talk more about that later) so we will need to go visit with him early in the morning, and then later tomorrow we will be able to visit with him again. He was visited by a bunch of different doctors with all of them asking him the same basic questions of, "How are you feeling? Where do you have pain? Can you tell me where you are?" etc., etc. Then came the psychiatrist, who wanted to be sure of his mental abilities and neurological issues. He began with those same questions then asked, "Do you know wh
