Well, today started off with Jose not feeling well again, some sort of sinus infection or something along those lines. I said I would rather he not come in, if he is feeling poorly, especially since I don't like sick folks around Jason. As it turned out, it was okay. It was a day for just Jason and I, and it was kind of fun. We both had appointments today, though mine was two hours after his, so once his was done we first went to the pharmacy and got his new Rx and then headed back to the house.

I was a little anxious about leaving Jason alone, but he seemed okay, and he said he was perfectly comfortable with me taking off. I was gone for almost 2 hours, when I got back to the house and he was playing a video games, and up to level 19 or 20. I asked him if he needed anything and he pretty much said no, then said he wanted to head over to Best Buy. I'm beginning to think that Wednesday and Thursday are the two best days to get out and do things, around here anyway. Yesterday the DMV was easy to get through and today Best Buy was almost empty. In both cases it was early afternoon still, so perhaps that had something to do with it too. Well he took a look at a couple of things and we wandered up and down a few of the isles, then we were out of the store. I guess electronic stores are for him what Home Depot is for me (I can spend some time at a Home Depot). Generally I don't like just walking around a store, but in this case it wasn't too bad.

The rest of the day was just kick back and relax again. He is much better than he was yesterday, and though I can still tell he has a cold or something, it is much less than it was before. He took a shower today and I know that had to have made him feel better, all around. I did the dressing change and it was looking better, too, so that made the start of the day that much better. Now we were at the end of the day, and not really much to do, other than clean up around the house some, and make sure all the trash was out (pick up tomorrow). I hope you all had a day as good as ours was.

Thank you, for your continued support and all the prayers being sent our way.

    Getting through DMV in CA easily?! Wow! That's amazing!
    The Lord will always be there to get you through whatever you have to face. Praying!
    2 Corinthians 12:9-10 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

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...
