Today was an exciting day, in that it started early with Jason wanting to take a shower and get clean dressings on his wounds, then immediately after that the girls were up and running around. It was actually very rewarding to me in that Jason was effectively taking care of his daughters on his own, while I was doing laundry and cleaning up some things. By the time I was done he had gotten breakfast for them and was feeding Jackie some cereal. I still hadn't eaten breakfast, so I started to get my stuff together, at about the same time both Stacy and Jackie were finished and then found out that Jason hadn't eaten either. With that being said we sat down together and had our breakfast while the girls were having a great time "reading" to each other in the front room. Neither of them can read, but Stacy has a general idea of what the stories are about and can tell them to Jackie. When Jackie starts it is usually just a bunch of sounds since her vocabulary is still developing, though she can now say several words, and knows some names.

We took the girls to day care and I need to get a photo in, of the girls, for their records. I may have to wait until tomorrow to do this, so that I can get a couple of good pictures. Jason's appointments went well, and there was nothing new to report about. The only thing that we need to get scheduled is the hyperbaric treatment that has recently been approved. I've been told we will have to head over to the UC San Diego Medical School to get this done, and there doesn't seem to be anyone who knows how many treatments he is going to be receiving. All I care about is getting his wounds closed up and healed, so I look at this as another possible step to arriving at that point. Otherwise, his appointments today went well and we were back at the house before 12:30, and we even drove through Taco Bell (Jason was in the mood). The down side is that they messed up the order and didn't include Jason's bean burritos (he always orders two). I called back over to the store where we bought them (phone number was on the receipt) and the guy I spoke to was very poor at handling a customer complaint. I finally asked him to have the manager give me a call, and I'll see if I can get this fixed. It is the third time that this particular Taco Bell has messed up Jason's order.

Tomorrow I am going to try to get a bike ride in, in the afternoon and it depends on a number of factors, the most important being how Jason is doing. The appointment schedule is thin, with only one tomorrow so he should be able to stay off his chair for the better part of the day. Thank you, for all your prayers and continued support.
