Not much going on today. We had breakfast with the girls, and it was a little different from most of the rest of this past week. Jason typically has his breakfast without getting out of bed, and then only gets out when he has to. Today he got up at about 06:30 and decided he wanted to take a shower. After the shower he had new dressings put on his wounds, and by the way, they're looking better. In fact, all of the area is looking better, and I'm pretty happy about it, considering I've been the one to see it every time. Anyway, after the shower the girls got up and were full of energy as they always are, and Jason decided to get dressed, to come have breakfast with the girls. In hindsight, I think this may have been an error because by 09:00 he was feeling uncomfortable and needed to get back in bed, which lead to us not going to church today. Well, we don't need to attend every Sunday, we just like to attend regularly.

The rest of the day was spent doing some laundry and lazing around the house. I did walk over to the mail box and pick up the Saturday mail, but other than that not much went on. Jason has appointments tomorrow, and more importantly, the girls BOTH start at their day care on the naval base. This will be the first time since we've been in San Diego, that they have both been enrolled in a regular day care program. The drop in center was good, and the folks there got to know the girls, so they will be missed. However, I do believe this will be better for the both of them, as well as us.

Thank you, for all your continued support and prayers - we're working to make things better all the time and God is guiding us along the way.

    Wow, what wonderful news about the wounds looking better!! That is a true blessing. It's been a long road with that!! I'm happy to hear about the girls getting to get to school together :-) It will be much easier to get around to all the appointments and such and being able to rest a bit yourself. I've seen nothing but miracles along this journey and I don't see why there can't be another. Have a wonderful evening and a great day tomorrow.

    All our best,

    So glad the wounds are looking better!
    Continuing to pray!
    Psalms 130:1-2, 5-7 Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD. Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications (5-7) I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope. My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning. Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.

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...
