Okay, for those that are waiting for the update on next steps for Jason's treatment, the news is... we have no update. They didn't call/contact me, so I'm guessing that we will hear something tomorrow. Not to worry, as soon as I know something I'll feel relieved... then I'll get to updating the blog. One more day -

Now for today - There was a meeting that Jason had to attend, and that was over at building 26, with the Sergeant Major. The meeting was on leadership and it lasted for about an hour. Both Jose and I sat in the background, as we really weren't a part of the meeting, though we did get to listen in. Actually, it was one of the best meeting opportunity for Jason, and the other Marines, as it was relaxed and interactive. Jason said it was one of the best he's been to, and wishes he had more like it. The only thing I think was missing was a comment or two from Jason. Considering all the challenges the Army is having right now, the topic is an important one, and I do believe the Sergeant Major was able to make his points, just a good leader should.

The only other thing we had to do was get out to the CDC (Child Development Center), out on 32nd street, and see what the final things are that Jason needs to turn in. Getting day care started is very important to him, and he wants to have something going with a good provider. The original one we had selected is no longer available, so we need to find another. The real problem with all the extra running around is that Jason was up too long, in his chair - at least in my opinion. I'll be working to get this corrected, when I can speak with the people on base. tomorrow.

Tomorrow Jason has a couple of appointments and also we're looking for that update. Thank you, all for all the prayers and support that continue to come our way.

    Hopefully you'll hear something tomorrow!
    Paul's sentences can be really long at times...didn't want to split this one up. Know that I'm here praying!
    Ephesians 3:14-21 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

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...
