May 5, 2012 - Not much of a Cinco de Mayo

Not a bunch to write about today. Jason spent most of the day in bed - in fact, except for one short stint where he went to the bathroom in his chair, he didn't get out of bed at all. I took the girls down to the park, a short while after we had breakfast, and let them play for about an hour. There were a few other girls (not sure where all the boys are) playing there also, though they showed up several minutes after we got there. Jason did play with both of them while in his bed, and read to them - they like it when Daddy reads to them, but he didn't get out of bed. Not much of a Cinco de Mayo, from a celebration stand point.

Otherwise we just stayed home all day and it was very nice. Jackie loves to get outside, so I was letting her run around out on the patio, and she enjoyed that. There were a couple of birds hopping on the fence and that was a special thing for her. She was quite excited to see them, and also the air traffic that is constantly going by. They will be headed back to their mother's place tomorrow evening, so it will be getting quiet around here again. Then when they do come back we'll finally have their day care all set up with the Child Development Center (CDC), and that will be something new for all of us to get used to.

Thank you, for all your prayers and continued support. We'll be taking the girls to church with us tomorrow again, and Stacy is looking forward to "Church School" as she calls it.

    Whatever the Lord allows to happen in your life, He'll get you through it! Praying!
    2 Samuel 22:2-3, 7 And he said, The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence. (7) In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my God: and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his ears.

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...
