April 8, 2012 - Happy Easter

We had an Easter Egg hunt, in the backyard, with Stacy, Jackie and their cousin Dylan. It was great fun even for Jackie. She didn't really understand what was going on, and so we provided her with a little assistance. Jackie ended up with six eggs to Stacy's 22 and Dylan's 18 (at least I think that was what they ended up with). Even after the "hunt" was over Jackie was having so much fun just running around with her basket she just continued while Stacy and Dylan sat down and took stock of their new found treasures. It was great with all the activity and Jason had a great time with the kids - probably the best he's had so far, though the beach was pretty good.

The sad part of the day was that tomorrow it is back to just Jason and I, and Larry the Home Health Aide. David (Dylan's dad) and his family had to head back up to Los Angeles, Mom (Linda) had to leave tonight to return to Livermore, and the girls will be gone for the next two weeks. These next two weeks should be good, particularly the end of the second week, as we should hear about what was discussed for Jason's next steps with recovery. Stay tuned for the exciting days to come.

Thank you, for all your prayers and continued support. God gave us all a second chance when Jesus was killed and then resurrected and I believe Jason has been given a second chance with his life.

10 Alive Day (10 Years after the blast)

 Wow! It has been 10 years today, that Jason was injured and despite all the expectations from the medical folks, he's still alive and as positive and active as ever. Most of you are aware that he is into sled-hockey and that we haven't been able to get out and play for over a year now. There is a positive side to all this, though, as the timing of the shut downs and the length of the pandemic. It began just as Jason's team (the Ducks) was getting ready to go to the championship tournament, in Philadelphia, when everything was shut down. This meant that because they were defending champions they simply maintained the title. Then the following season was cancelled so the third year they have kept the title as well... trouble is that no- body wants to keep it that way. They would rather be out there on the ice and having some real games and doing what they do best... PLAY HOCKEY! We do understand now, that the games are very likely to begin again soon, so everybody is doing t

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.&quo
