Not much to report about today, other than he had some appointments (three) and we were back home before noon - and that's after going to In-N-Out Burger for lunch (my stomach still has not forgiven me). Maybe I'm just not a good fast-food kinda guy, or perhaps we haven't been going often enough to keep my stomach conditioned for that food. Don't get me wrong, I know their burgers are generally pretty good, and I have been able to eat them easily in the past - maybe I'm just getting too used to eating at home most of the time. This getting healthy stuff is messing with my diet... ;-)

About the toughest things Jason had to work on were the exercises that Dawn put him through at Physical Therapy. All the trainers there like Jason, mostly because of his positive attitude, with a secondary issue of him being able to talk with them. He loves to tell them about some of the things he does, and also things the girls do, when they're with us. But then, he is a proud papa.

The rest of the day was spent at the house, and it has literally just now dawned on me - I didn't check the mail today. I guess I should go take care of that early in the morning, don't want to have the mail carrier think we've forgotten about them. Tomorrow is going to be similar to today, except that Jason doesn't have to go in so early, like he did today. There is a transition going on with the command of the Wounded Warrior Battalion, and originally he was supposed to get to meet the new command. As it turned out something came up and the new guy was not able to get over to the Naval Base, so they're gong to try again later, but not yet scheduled. On the bright side - I've been able to get this post out a little earlier...

Thank you, for all your continued support and prayers.

    Moved out of CA almost 10 years ago now and haven't had an In-N-Out burger since! Really miss them!
    Praying!
    Hebrews 6:17-20 Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath: That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil; Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

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...
