Jason had two appointments today, with one of them being Occupational Therapy and the other with the Dermatology folks - the ones who did the laser treatment. At OT he had a good workout, and was actually sweaty when he finished. I think he likes it when he has a good hard workout and sweats like that. It makes him feel more complete. There was a gap between appointments of about two hours so he decided to take advantage of the time and take care of another "errand" the Gunny had given to him. Then he went to the Exchange and made a couple of small purchases and we still had over an hour to wait. So like any good patient, he said, "Let's go early and see if they can take us in sooner." As it turned out that's exactly what happened, and we were done at about the time we were supposed to be going in.

The visit allowed the doctor to take a look at the wounds and see that they were now looking better than they had before. He had taken a couple of pictures of the initial visit, and compared them to the current state and anyone could see that there was some improvement. There will be another couple of visits, prior to the next treatment, and we expect that they improvements will continue.

Afterward, Jason and I went over to pick up the girls from the drop in day care, on base and headed back to the house. Linda was at the house doing some clean up and making sure there was something to eat for dinner. It was a nice feeling to have her there waiting for us. The girls were happy to see us and all-in-all it turned out to be a very good day. Tomorrow Jason has just one appointment, and should be able to relax most of the day at home. We've talked about going to Costco, so we might do that, but then we might not.

Thank you, for all your continued support and prayers. I am hoping that tomorrow I will be able to post a link to the Paramobile/ParaGolfer. I know some of you have been asking about it, so I am anxious to get it out to as many as possible, as soon as possible.

    Praying right now!
    Isaiah 53:4-6 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

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...
