January 15 - take two...

Apologies, I nearly forgot the most important thing...

We went and had some pictures taken of Jason and the girls, even got a couple of the girls with Grandma. Jackie was getting a little tired by the time we were done with the picture taking, so I didn't get any time in front of the camera. Anyway, in a day or two we will have some very nice pictures of the girls and Jason, and as a celebration I'll even put some out on the blog (that I took, can't use the studio's pictures, they're copyrighted). While at the studio, Jason and I took a small side trip and picked up some Cinnabon, cinnamon rolls. First ones we've been able to get in several months, and they were good. It has been a blessing that Linda has been able to come down and stay with us for these few days, because without her we would not have done the photo shoot.

(Okay, now just imagine that the above is in the previous post... ;-)

    Can't wait to see the pictures!
    Praying for you right now!
    Psalms 16:8-9, 11 I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope. (11) Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

    Praying for George Jr. in hopes that all is well with him. Sounds like a terrific weekend! Looking forward to the new pics. So glad you are considering respite-care to provide time for exercise, etc. - that is wonderful news also. The kiddos in daycare is good also, I'm sure they will enjoy their "new school".

    I'll be praying for the new chair to be all it can be and delivered soon.

    Have a good day tomorrow!
    All our best,
    Karen & Rob

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

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

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
