Jason started the day off with a shower and a dressing change. The wounds don't look any worse and unfortunately they don't look any better. We won't be going in to see the dermatologist until the end of next week, so we have to just wait to see when the hyperbaric chamber work starts. I am hoping that it does fulfill all that we are being lead to believe it can do. On the other hand, I won't be too surprised if it does not. Jason was up in his chair after the new dressings and within a short time he was getting uncomfortable. We had some time before we had to go to his first appointment so I asked him to go lay back down, and he did. I got the girls fed breakfast and finished getting them ready. After they were ready we started to get ready ourselves, including Jason - and then we headed on over to the hospital. There were three appointments and that alone would be enough to wear him out. As it turned out, by the time he was done with his first appointment he was starting to feel uncomfortable and in a short while it was decided to head back home and lay back down. After getting him back in bed, I took off to pick up some lunch. There is a new taco place we hadn''t tried and I wanted to see how they were. The food was good and they got my order correct.

Not much else happened today, other than a call from the bike shop to let me know my bike was ready. I had a new set of gears mounted on the rear wheel (the entire cassette was replaced). This should make it much easier for me to get up some of the hills around here. Jason on has the one appointment tomorrow, and it is for 11:00, so that should allow me the time to pick up the bike in the morning. Speaking of picking up... I'll be picking up Linda tomorrow afternoon and we're going to have the entire weekend together. I am looking forward to this weekend.

Thank you, for all your prayers and support.

    Still here praying!
    Ephesians 3:16-19 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

    So glad, Jason, that you are recognizing when you need to get off your feet. I hope and pray that you continue to heal and feel better soon. Enjoy your parents this weekend and ask Linda for your souvenior from me.

    Have a good day tomorrow!

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...
