Today was an adventurous day for Jason as we took the girls shopping. The girls got a bath and I shampooed their hair, so naturally I looked for a brush after we were done. There was none to be found. Not sure where it went, but it really didn't matter since we didn't have one. Anyway, we went to where we thought we would be able to find just what we were looking for, Babies R Us. Well, as you can imagine, Jackie is growing rather quickly, and some of her clothes no longer fit, and Jason wanted to get her some new pajamas anyway. We found some on clearance, and then also found a nice dress for Stacy, along with everything else we were now buying. We eventually got out of there for a little over $100, and my comment to Jason was, "That was an expensive hair brush." All he said was, "Yeah..." I guess I'm just not much of a shopper, and it looks like Jason isn't much different. Next time we'll wait for grandma, and let her have fun, since she enjoys it.

Not much else going on today. The Super Bowl wasn't important, as neither of the teams were important to us. In fact, Jason didn't watch it at all. I did watch most of it, since it was a time when I could just kick back and relax (the girls were down for a nap), and Jason was laying down in his room. Tomorrow we have a few errands to attend to, but again, I am going to push to keep Jason laying down as much as I can.

I'm feeling much more comfortable with the I.V. that Jason is on now, and I'm able to get it going and then finished without any problems. About the only challenge, if you want to call it that, is keeping up with his schedule. So far I've been able to do it, and I have a chart that just about anyone should be able to follow, if I need to hand it over to someone else. I don't think that will happen while the I.V. is going, though that will only be another 17 days.

Tomorrow we will be getting the girls enrolled in day care, and I think that will be good for them. The social interaction will be good for them, and I also think it will help them begin learning some of the needed basic skills for getting into kindergarten. Well, anyway, like I said, it was an adventurous day for Jason and the girls, but also an easy day.

Thank you, for all your support and prayers.

    I love shopping for little girls, so many cute things out these days. Sounds like a fun day for you guys.

    I'm glad Jason is following the doc's orders as he really does need to get those wounds healed up!! The pool awaits him :)

    The Super Bowl was a good game and fun to watch. Like you, I didn't care who won since the Niners weren't in it.

    I am praying for continued healing for Jason and the rest of Clan Ross. Take good care and try and keep Jason resting.

    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...
