Well, Jose was back on duty today and both Jason and I were happy to see him. He just wasn't up to it yesterday, and it is probably better that he didn't come in, as I don't want any sickies around. Speaking of sickies being around - both girls have been going to the drop-in day care all this week and have not picked up any bugs to share. This is both a wonderful happening, and it has been a very good experience for them . They both enjoy going to day care and interacting with the other kids. The social aspect is something they both need.

We got up at about our usual time and then had breakfast. Jose came in at his regular time and we just hung around the house for a little while. Jason had an appointment at 10:00 so we had some time to just goof off a bit. We loaded the van up and headed off to the hospital, and day care. As it turned out the proximity of the day care and Jason's appointment couldn't have been planned much better. We actually got to the appointment about 25 minutes early, and then they took him in early.

The appointment was good on many levels. Jason's wounds were looking so much better now; a new treatment was applied to the wounds; and, it gave Jose an opportunity to actually see what Jason's wounds looked like, rather than just talk about them. The a-cell treatment was applied again and the nurse and doctor were very pleased with how everything thing looked (as was I). The only "down", if you want to call it that, was that Jason was feeling a little pain on his left side after the visit, and it made the ride home a little more uncomfortable.

Because Jose was here I was able to take off for a couple of hours and do a few things, and then came back to go get the girls. Once I was back home, and then Jose left we kicked back and watched Sponge Bob Square Pants (I think that was only the second time that I actually sat down and watched it - I still think its nuts). The next thing I know is that its time for dinner and so I put the rice cooker on; get the broccoli going; and finally put the salmon in the oven. Dinner was quite good, if I do say so myself. The last thing for the evening was the girls bath, and then they were off to bed. All together I'd have to say it was a good day.

Thank you, for all your prayers and support, and for staying with us over these past several month

    So happy the wounds are looking better but sorry for the pain on the left. I hope he is feeling better tomorrow!! Please keep off those wounds and get them all healed up, Mr. Jason.

    If you can post more pics of the fam and little girls please do!

    Enjoy your weekend,
    All our best,

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...
