Today Jason had an uneventful day in the PACU, and there was nothing new to report. I was up early to go see him, but they had already taken him down, so I didn't see him until later in the morning. He will need to go down again tomorrow. With it being Sunday I am guessing that it will be a little later in the day, so I should be able to see him before he goes. I think he likes it when I get to see him off so I do try to get over there. It is now kind of late in the day and I am a little tired. There wasn't much done today, other than Jason and I watching football on the television.

We had some visitors and there was a luncheon provided, and other than that not much was going on. Perhaps that is a good thing. Sorry that there isn't much to write about for this post, yet I do want to thank you all for all your continued support and prayers. I hope you all have a pleasant evening.

    George and Jason, I read this every night before I go to bed. I keep prayers and good thoughts for another productive day for you. I am thrilled to hear about your progress and talked with Linda today about the next few weeks. I am looking forward to hearing about them! Love to you both. Karen

    Great to hear no issues in the PACU and in some journeys in life no events and just watching football is a good day!

    Last night I was telling another friend about Jason and some about the from March to present. On a computer ,I showed her pictures on the blog and the article The Price with drawings. I told her look at Jason's smile eating the frosted wheats and with the CMH, it underscores the depth of his character and that of his family. She agreed.

    All of you remain in the thoughts and prayers of many you will never know. God will continue to carry all of you through the journey.

10 Alive Day (10 Years after the blast)

 Wow! It has been 10 years today, that Jason was injured and despite all the expectations from the medical folks, he's still alive and as positive and active as ever. Most of you are aware that he is into sled-hockey and that we haven't been able to get out and play for over a year now. There is a positive side to all this, though, as the timing of the shut downs and the length of the pandemic. It began just as Jason's team (the Ducks) was getting ready to go to the championship tournament, in Philadelphia, when everything was shut down. This meant that because they were defending champions they simply maintained the title. Then the following season was cancelled so the third year they have kept the title as well... trouble is that no- body wants to keep it that way. They would rather be out there on the ice and having some real games and doing what they do best... PLAY HOCKEY! We do understand now, that the games are very likely to begin again soon, so everybody is doing t

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
