Today was a restful day for both Jason and I, and I actually began the morning with a visit to the gym. It was just a short visit, as I don't want to do to much to quickly, I just want to start going more regularly. Jason had some difficulties with his medications, earlier today, but by early afternoon it seemed he was doing much better. I think they were thinking of discharging him today, but I asked them to consider keeping him there one more day, and that also gives me one more day to get the over head trapeze installed.

One solid positive is that we now have cable activated at the house. The cable guy, no, not Larry, came by this morning and in a matter of a couple of hours he was done. Jason will be able to watch some T.V. from his own bed now, and at the same time I can watch something else in the front room - if I want to. Not sure that I'll be watching much TV anyway, but at least the option is there now.

I do believe Jason will be coming home tomorrow, and he already has a list of things he would like to get done, so I will have my work cut out for me, keeping him resting. I think that perhaps his anxiousness to do too much is why he ended back in the hospital this time. Anyway, please keep your prayers and support coming our way.

Thank you, for all that you have done, and for all the prayers and support you have sent our way.

    I'm so GLAD and GRATEFUL that Jason is coming home soon. I was telling his mother this evening that he didn't have permission to be ill anymore. She laughed. I brought MaMa Ross some soup so that SHE gets well also. She said she was starting to feel much better. I know that this respitatory bug is going around!!

    Please make SSgt.Ross follow his doctors orders. He must get those wounds to heal up, must.

    I guess it's spring time. There are trees up here that are in bloom now??!! It's no even Feb. yet. I wish there was a way to have Jason be outside in the shade a bit so he can get a little sunshine each day. If I only had a magic wand. Is the pron cart coming home with him?

    My prayers are continuing for all of you. I have to go to bed, I'm getting up early to bring MaMa Ross her favorite morning time beverage :) She can have it now that she is better.

    All our best,

    Glad he's going to be released! Am sure he'll appreciate being able to watch TV from his bed. And once he's settled in you might be able to catch a show or two. Great job on going to the gym! Definitely best to ease into that! It's beneficial on so many levels.
    Lifting up prayers right now!
    2 Thessalonians 2:16-17 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.

    Just wanted to add that I am glad you are making time for yourself George. It is so important to recharge yourself and some exercise is a good way to do that along with mindful quiettime meditation. Have a wonderful day!!

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....

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...
